Ministers must stop focusing “exclusively” on young
first-time buyers and increase the supply of older people’s housing to free up
family homes, a report has said. The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on
Housing and Care for Older People has published a report looking at ways of
stimulating both demand for, and supply of, homes for older people. The report, the latest in the APPG’s Housing Our Ageing Population: Positive
Ideas series, makes a number of recommendations to ministers and the
sector. It cites work previously commissioned by the APPG showing eight million
people over the age of 60 are interested in downsizing. Download the report
from the Parliament website.
