Homes England has awarded property data provider Hometrack a contract to deliver comprehensive housing market intelligence to support its goals over the next four years.
Hometrack is a UK-based property analytics and data services company, best known for providing automated property valuations, market intelligence, and housing insights.
It is widely used across the mortgage lending, real estate, public sector, and financial services industries.
The three-year contract, which runs through to 31 March 2028 (with the option to extend for a further year), is said to mark a significant investment in data-driven policy development and spatial planning.
The insights delivered by Hometrack will provide a detailed and in-depth, monthly view of the UK housing market, covering every house sale and its price. It expected to become central to shaping national and local housing strategies, unlocking regeneration potential, and informing public investment.
It’s claimed that the partnership will help provide a “firm foundation” for the UK government’s housing targets, including Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves’s, commitment to build 1.5m new homes.
Charlie Bryant, Hometrack’s chief executive, said: “We’re proud to be supporting Homes England with data insights that empower local regeneration and sustainable growth. Our analytics will provide strategic investment and policy solutions with greater precision.”
