Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 3 January 2025 to Question 20640 on Housing: Ownership, what estimate she has made of the number of new build replacements in (a) 2025-26 and (b) 2026-27.
This question was answered on 6th February 2025
As set out in the answer given to Question UIN 17553 on 11 December 2024, our modelling suggests a long-run average of c. 1,700 sales annually under new maximum discounts. As a result, we believe local authorities will now be in a stronger position to replace the homes that are sold.
