(5 November 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what data his Department holds on the number of newly built homes purchased by non-UK nationals in each of the last five years.

Asked by:
Lewis Cocking (Conservative)

Answer

My Department does not hold data on new built homes purchased by non-UK nationals.

Overseas entities who want to buy, sell, or transfer property or land in the UK, must register with Companies House and declare who their registrable beneficial owners or managing officers are.

Data on property ownership by overseas companies in England and Wales is published by HM Land Registry and is publicly available on gov.uk.
