You asked
When the Government publish the number of homes built in any given year do they include the thousands of new luxury flats bought by overseas buyers as an investment and largely left unoccupied?

Thank you for your request.
Unfortunately, we do not hold information to answer this question. However, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is responsible for statistics on the number of dwellings completed in England. They may be better placed to answer your request and can be contacted via email at: mhclgcorrespondence@communities.gov.uk.
