Housing Futures

Q4 2023

Life Moves: 10 Years On represents a decade of Strutt & Parker’s Housing Futures Survey series, focusing on emerging housing trends and the changing priorities of home movers.

Latest research – 2023

Our latest research looks at what consumers really want from their next home and how they would like to live in the future.

By surveying over 2,000 people across the UK we can see the motivations and influences that drive home-movers and how these people want to live.

These include: the property features that are most important to people now; where people want to live; how they want to commute; and how environmentally friendly or sustainable they want to be.

With ten years of historical data we also have the ability to delve into how these trends have changed and evolved over time.

Previous Research Publications

 

The 9th edition of our annual Housing Future publication looks at what consumers really want from their next home.

Where do we want our homes to be? What do we want our homes to look like? Will our homes have 1 bedroom or 2? Will we live on our own or with family or friends? Ultimately, how do we want to live? These are the types of questions that our annual Housing Futures survey has asked since 2013 as we seek to understand the future home aspirations of people across the UK.

Being at the forefront of new trends has given us the privilege of engaging with the complete life cycle of the housing sector from the house builders, planners, local government, investors, developers, operators, and perhaps most importantly, our residential estate agents helping our clients, to buy, sell and rent the home of their dreams. The content from these publications serve as a snapshot of our analysis of the survey results.
