Life Moves: Reimagining our homes is the 9th edition in Strutt & Parker’s series focusing on emerging housing trends, and incorporates findings from our annual Housing Futures survey.

Our survey of just over 2,100 people from across the UK provides insight into what consumers really want from their next home and how they would like to live in the future. This document summarises the hot off the press trends.

Home ownership continues to be the preferred tenure although age can be a factor in those decisions. The implications from the pandemic are influencing what people want in their future homes; access to outdoor space for example, and for some a more life-changing move to the coast. Others want to be more technologically connected, and also contribute to the health of the planet through sustainable features including electric car charging points. Finally, many intend to move further away from from their workplace in anticipation of regular working weeks shifting to a hybrid model. This lasting trend determines how our homes play a pivotal part in our working lives.
