How the UK thinks and feels about property
Property has often been referred to as a ‘national obsession’ for the British, but what does property really mean to the different groups of people in the UK?
We asked more than 4,000 adults from all over the UK what they think and feel about property. They shared with us their attitudes to owning versus renting, how property affects their view of their current financial situation and longer-term plans and much, much more.
We’ve shared some of our findings here, including video interviews with real people who have told us their stories. We’ll be updating it regularly so do check back from time to time.
