Single people live in them. EG not multi occupancy (single)
The 25 million housolds are flats bungalows everything.
Over 1/3 of the population live on their own. that means they use over 1/3 of all homes. that is set to increase not decrease.

Oh, now I got you. But house is a house, right, regardless if its a flat or detached or bungalow? My point of argument is that UK has enough number of houses (any form) to shelter every family. Do you agree with that?I am neither a bull nor a bear. I am a FTB, looking for a HOME, not a financial investment!0 -

no. if you have 17.1M familys they do not fit in to the remaining 15 million homes regardles of the size.
If you split everyone up yes we could live 2.4 to a house (providing every property had 3 bedrooms) but that is like saying house prices are fine because I can afford one.
perhaps this is one we should disagree on as I think you should in theory to stop HPI have enough homes for every family,0
