The age old question
Looking to buy?
In the decade up to 2021, the population of 30-somethings grew by more than 700,000 in England and Wales.
Given that the average age of a first-time buyer is 33.8 years, that’s a lot of people who might be ready to buy their first home.
Over the same period, the number of over-60s grew, by almost 2 million. This is a cohort who might be contemplating downsizing, or a significant lifestyle change.
