Whole years only: 2025 is the last full year, and nearly every sale in it has now been recorded. This year will show once it is over.

New-build homes sold counts only new homes sold to a buyer. Homes built for the council or a housing association, blocks built to rent out, and most shared ownership homes are not sold this way, so more homes are built each year than this shows.
