Can Downsizing Solve the UK’s Housing Crisis?

About this episode

The episode discusses whether downsizing can address the UK's housing crisis by unlocking under-occupied homes.

Is downsizing the key to solving the UK’s housing crisis? With £2.9 trillion of property wealth tied up in under-occupied homes, host Laura Hellon-Hughes talks to Lucian Cook (Savills) and Steve Bangs (Pegasus Homes) about breaking barriers, reshaping perceptions, and why “rightsizing” could unlock homes and transform later living.
