Home space: the final frontier

When you're considering buying a new home, it's quite likely that you'll get together with the family or anyone else with whom you'll be sharing building when the project is done and dusted. You'll want to discuss key requirements and features that you don't want to compromise on.

It might be a downstairs toilet. Or perhaps you want an en suite bathroom off the main bedroom. Or is a large utility room off the kitchen a desirable requirement? Or maybe it's the number of reception rooms or bedrooms that are the necessity.

Or perhaps it's the type of property that's important. Do you want something small and manageable? Or would you rather something more spacious (both in terms of the building itself and the grounds)?

According to the latest Lloyds Bank Home Mover Review, you won't be alone if it's space (inside and out) that is your overriding requirement.

According to the Lloyds report:

• 33% of all home purchases last year comprised detached homes

• The averageage of home-movers was 40

• The average sale price for a home was £392,107 (which is down by 6% on the same time last year)

• The number of movers across the first half of the year was upby 10%

Statistics are easy to manipulate, but the message is that the number of those moving has gone up while the price has gone in the opposite direction. In addition, the largest rise in sales is in the detached home sector of the housing market.

Reading into this, it is clear that there is an increased drive for the space that is offered by such properties.

And with the increased popularity comes the usual market forces that will inevitably start playing on the price, starting an increase. So, if you are one of the third of home-movers who want to opt for the desirable detached homes in any particular area, you might want to think about moving now.
