My Department does not undertake financial sustainability assessments of individual providers delivering homes through the Affordable Homes Programme.
Instead, it sets the priorities and parameters of affordable housing grant programmes and delegates delivery of those, including allocations to individual contractors, to our two delivery partners, Homes England and the Greater London Authority (GLA).
Homes England and the GLA have robust controls in place to programme manage delivery by partners who receive funding. These include qualifications, governance arrangements, and due diligence checks.
Any future requests for funding will be assessed in line with the criteria for the Social and Affordable Homes Programme set out in Homes England’s bidding guidance which can be found on gov.uk here and for the GLA programme linked here.

Grant agreements with strategic partners under the Affordable Homes Programme (AHP) are tracked by Homes England against delivery plans that incorporate particular milestones such as acquisitions, starts, and completions.
All delivery is required to be compliant with the terms of the grant agreement and capital funding guide and completed homes are checked for value for money in line with the agreed grant allocation parameters. The capital funding guide can be found on gov.uk here and example Homes England grant agreements for the 2021-26 AHP can be accessed here.
Delivery is also checked against the Programme's wider strategic objectives, including the use of Modern Methods of Construction, use of SME contractors, and improvement of the energy efficiency and sustainability of new affordable housing.

The information is not held. MHCLG collects quarterly data from developers who have signed the developer remediation contract. This data covers buildings requiring life critical fire safety remedial works, however no data is collected in relation to structural remedial works.

The government has legislated for a series of future measures to strengthen the clarity and enforceability of developers’ obligations during the early years of new home ownership. Sections 144 and 145 of the Building Safety Act, once commenced, will require every new build home to be sold with a warranty that meets mandated minimum standards, and will enable the government to impose penalties of up to 10 per cent of the sale value or £10,000 on those who sell a new home without a compliant warranty. These powers will ensure developers’ responsibilities in the early years are clearer and more consistently enforced.
The government believes that existing redress mechanisms for those buying a new home are inadequate. We are therefore working with the devolved administrations to implement the statutory UK-wide New Homes Ombudsman (NHO) scheme and an accompanying Code to investigate and resolve complaints and will bring forward the necessary secondary legislation in due course. Once enacted all developers will be required to be a member of the statutory NHO.
The Department does not hold the requested data related to individual developers.
Where developers are responsible for remediation, including structural defects, we expect them to take prompt action to remediate buildings. We are not considering bringing forward statutory timescales for developers to complete remedial works.
