L&Q tops Biggest Builders Survey again
Leading housing association and developer L&Q is excited to announce we have again topped Inside Housing’s Biggest Builder Survey.
The yearly survey gives a useful snapshot of the sector and the progress made by housing associations to deliver the much-needed homes the country needs.
L&Q has topped the survey again, delivering just shy of 3,000 new homes in 2023/24, demonstrating our commitment to tackling the housing crisis.
The news also coincides with Inside Housing publishing another report which showed L&Q has consistently been the biggest provider of social housing in England over the past 10 years.
Across the sector, however, the UK’s largest housing associations are experiencing an unprecedented downturn in activity, with The G15 earlier this year announcing a 76% downturn in new starts on site.
Vicky Savage, Executive Group Director for Development & Sales at L&Q, commented:
“We are really pleased to have delivered significant numbers of completions last year, but in light of the challenging economic environment, and the competing and significant demands on budgets, development activity is being scaled back across the sector.
“While we are confident in delivering similar completion figures for 2024/25 as we continue to develop out our existing pipeline, we are facing significant challenges around our development activity going forward unless we see a significant increase in government investment in affordable housing” she warned.
