Homes and communities
UK housing provision widely assumes that as
we age we will wish to stay put in family homes
acquired over a lifetime – often houses with
gardens – even though the priorities that led us
to choose these homes no longer apply. As a
result, there is little housing choice for those who
do wish to move. This reinforces the notion that
moving is always a last resort.
