Vacant homes in South East §

See how South East compares to the rest of the UK.

Data: Vacant home and long-term vacant home percentages are calculated by dividing the respective counts in Table 615: vacant dwellings by local authority district: England, from 2004 by the dwelling count estimates in Table 125: dwelling stock estimates by local authority district.

Dwellings and household projections in South East §

Data: Dwelling count estimates are from Table 125: dwelling stock estimates by local authority district. Household estimates are from the 2018-based household projections for local authorities and higher adminstrative areas within England.

Affordable homes in South East §

Data: Affordable homes data comes from Live tables on affordable housing supply published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. On this chart, we present the data from Affordable housing supply open data. We use figures for completions, and group by date, tenure and local authority. This is equivalent to Table 1000: additional affordable homes provided by type of scheme, England. The data processing pipeline is published openly.

This chart shows the number of housing units (bed spaces) provided in addition to the exisiting afforable housing stock. It is well-worth reading the Affordable housing supply statistics bulletin for more detailed information. For definitions of what counts as affordable housing, see Fact Sheet 9: What is Afforable housing?

Notes

1. Intermediate rent includes London Living Rent from 2017-18
2. From 2020/21, it is not possible to break down units between Social Rent and London Affordable Rent funded through some GLA schemes. When this happens they will be counted against Social Rent.
3. Shared Ownership figures for 2014-15 and 2015-16 are based on Homes England and the GLA figures only. Shared ownership units funded by other means are counted as affordable home ownership. Prior to 2014-15, all shared ownership units are counted as affordable home ownership.

House prices in South East §

See house price to earnings ratio for England and Wales.

Data: Median house price estimates come from the ONS Median house prices for administrative geographies. Published under Open Government Licensce v.3.0.

Number of properties in South East §

Data: Stock of properties data come from the Valuation Office Agency Council Tax: stock of properties, 2024. Here we present data from Table CTSOP 1.1: number of properties by Council Tax band and region, county, local authority district, and lower and middle layer super output area, 1993 to 2024.

Net additional dwellings in South East §

Data: Net additional dwellings data come from Table 122 and Table 118 of the live tables on net supply of housing. Published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.

Notes: On the chart, data points are set to the end date of the time period. Each year covers April to March. There are 16 data notes which can be viewed in the ODF file for Table 122. The three most recent are:

1. The 2017-18 published figure for Thanet has been manually adjusted by DLUHC to remove 84 units incorrectly included in the raw data by the authority. These units were empty homes returning to use and were removed as they did not meet the definition of a net additional dwelling.
2. Net additions for Isles of Scilly are negative for 2021-22 since it is a small local authority area with very limited development in this year.
3. Figures for the following local authorities were not submitted in 2022-23 so were imputed: Telford and Wrekin UA, Wiltshire UA and Ribble Valley.
