Alderney has 68 affordable homes according to new figures published by the island's government – less than 5% of the island's domestic housing.

The States of Alderney published its 2025 Residential Property Stock and Prices Bulletin this week, in partnership with Guernsey's Data and Analysis team.

There were 1,510 "domestic property units" on the island at the end of March, with 47% owner-occupied and 45% privately rented.

Iain MacFarlane, chairman of Alderney's Housing Group, said housing was "high" on the States' agenda and the new data would help it understand the island's housing needs.

The States of Alderney said more than a third of privately-rented properties were owned by people whose main address was not in Alderney.

Fewer than 20% of people in Alderney live in apartments, with nearly 80% living in either houses or bungalows.

The report said there were 52 property sales in 2024, up from 43 the year before.
