UK home-owner? Take our survey. £100 voucher to be won! NOW CLOSED

Not very impressed by the questionnaire. If and when we downsize we definitely won’t release any equity. It didn’t ask why people had, or had not, downsized. In our case it’s because we are not sure we want to stay in this area but we can’t move while my mother is still alive. Also, we actually like having the extra space, we certainly fill it, but we know the house will become unmanageable as we get older.

Done, easy because I have not downsized and have no intention of doing so= this house is small even with 3 bedrooms.

I'm looking to downsize because i have a family house and now i'm one person, but the survey doesn't take that into account and I couldn't reply to a lot of the questions.

Done, although my circumstances were unusual.

I didn't feel I could do the survey as we'd like to move nearer to our children and their families but they live in one of the most expensive areas in the country, so we would probably lose out financially if we moved.

Survey was easy to complete, we haven't downsized, would do so in the future if we could no longer manage what we have.
As for the spare bedrooms, we have 3 doubles, 1 each for DH & I, the 3rd. for visiting DC (2), & the 5 DGC. ( so often we find not enough space...!!! ).

All done

Done, although some of the questions didn't really work, as some people have said.

Done.

Done. We would downsize to buy 2 houses 1 in uk near grandchildren and elderly mothers and the other in nz to be able to have extended visits with grandchildren there. No option to say that. Also when asked how old grandchildren are no way to say that 2 of them are 2 and one due in 8 weeks.

All done thank you

Done - agree that question about spare room is misleading. We use two for our hobbies so they are not spare but neither are they actual bedrooms.

I agree about the bedroom question
In theory my little house has 3 bedrooms but only one is big enough for anything other than a bed! I have a short single bed in bedroom 2 and the tiny cupboatd sized room is my sewing and ironing room. Not sure that a proper bed would fit, maybe it is a cotroom not a bedroom!

I did the survey but I fear I made a mistake in spelling out my email address and not permitted to rewrite the survey.

Done the survey. We're 3 months into downsizing to a residential park home, which is being built. (Currently living in a static.) Exciting time, but a bit scary too. Doing it while we still can, & to have an easy home & garden, for our future years.

Done, but some of the questions didn’t quite fit my circumstances, still, not to worry.

neither does it allow you to state that you do not live in the UK

Questionnaires always should have an empty space for 'other' in questions which are likely to have other options.

Done

I've done the survey, but a lot of the questions didn't seem to relate to our circumstances

Completed, although I am staying put for now
