Resolves on the same release and the All affordable completions row for England, 2025-26. YES if that figure is greater than 68,000. Starts are not used. Voids if no figure by 26 November 2026. If that source has not published in time, BBC News and the Financial Times settle it.
We looked at the government's yearly count of homes for social rent finished in England. The count has been made the same way since 1991-92. Our record starts in 2012-13, the first full year after 'affordable rent' replaced social rent as the main type of home the state paid for, and runs to 2024-25. For each year we asked whether more than 13,000 social rent homes were finished. Only the first year, 2012-13, passed that mark. The eight most recent years are shown.
