What homes men and women want

What homes men and women want

A survey by OnePoll for Strutt & Parker’s Housing Futures, reveals that there is a marked split between the genders when asked to rate their motivations for moving house. Women looked for better schools, access to public transport or amenities, being close to work, a larger home and a property that suited their personal finances and brought them closer to family and friends. Men were more likely to be influenced by tax changes, impending retirement, pension support and moving to a smaller home. When it came to dream home items, the survey revealed that 14% of men wanted a cinema/screening room and 12% wanted a wine cellar.
