Introduction

This statistical publication presents the latest figures for the year ending March 2025-26 on new housebuilding and the Affordable Housing Supply Programme. The latest quarterly data and comparisons to the corresponding quarter the year before are also presented.

Rates of house building per population are published on a quarterly basis, which are presented by all sectors, private sector, as well as the social sector (local authority and housing association).

Comparisons to other UK countries are updated when data are available, usually in our December publication. The latest comparison can be found here: Housing Statistics for Scotland Quarterly Update: New Housebuilding and Affordable Housing Supply to end September 2025-26 - gov.scot

Timeseries for quarterly and annual data, along with local authority breakdowns, are contained in the supporting Excel tables.
