Survey findings

Survey background & methodology
Ipsos MORI interviewed online a representative sample of
2,195 adults aged 16-75+, members of the Ipsos Interactive
Services Panel in Great Britain.
Fieldwork was conducted between 9-13 June 2017.
Data has been weighted to the known population profile.
Where percentages do not sum to 100, this is due to
computer rounding, multiple responses or the exclusion of
‘don’t know’ categories.

There is enough affordable housing available to
buy or rent in my local area
It is harder for me to buy or rent a home now than
it was for my parents’ generation when they were
my age
It will be harder for the children of today to buy or
rent a home than it is for me
I might have to leave my local area in the future
because the cost of housing is too high
There isn’t much that British governments can do
to deal with the country’s housing problems
Everyone should have a right to be able to live in a
decent quality home whether or not they own it
The housing market is unfair
