Well technically only the owners..... Renters, not so much.
But the average homeowner is now worth approximately £17,000 more than they were a year ago.
Which equates to roughly 38,850 cadbury Twirls.......

I expect many of them will be looking for bungalows, they're not building many of them. What with the baby-boomers retiring, they're going to have trouble downsizing to suitable accomodation, unless they desire a rabbit hutch.0
