Notes
- Completions recorded by councils' building control and the NHBC. Homes signed off by private approved inspectors are not counted.
- StatsWales notes that some councils did not send every quarterly return, among them Gwynedd for 2025–26; its table gives figures for those quarters without saying how they were made. England counts its new homes differently, so its figures are on their own page.
