The results suggest British buyers are very practical when it comes to our list of must-haves! 
 
60% of people surveyed said a garage was at the top of their wish list. Over half (51%) said a family room was important to them, 42% would be looking for a walk-in closet, and 39% consider a home office essential. 
 
Location also plays a major part in the decision to invest in a forever home, with 43% of respondents sharing their desire to move to a rural location, and another 23% wanting to be close to the coast. 
 
If you think your house could be someone else’s forever home, get in touch for an obligation-free valuation.
