Government figures published today reveal that 102,570 houses were completed in England in 2010, 13% down on 2009.

The Home Builders Federation said this figure was an "all time low" and called for "real action now to prevent the crisis deepening".

Starts in 2010 reached 103,140, up 32% on 2009.

"If we are going to weather this perfect storm we need early action to resolve and simplify planning, reduce regulation and encourage lenders to lend again."
