A new report has just put the spotlight on older people
downsizing, suggesting that millions of under-occupied homes would be freed up
and those moving would gain health and quality of life benefits. According to

from the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Housing and Care for Older
People, there are eight million people in the UK interested in downsizing.
This, according to the APPG, could free up 3.5 million homes, including two
million three or four-bedroom homes. Read more on the Extra Care website.
