With predicted demographic growth in the UK over the next 30 years and an increasing aging population this paper highlights a number of issues such as the need to release property equity and ensure more efficient use of the housing stock by encouraging down-sizing to reduce the problem of under-occupation. Compares drivers of demand and drivers of need. Examines types of housing options available such as existing housing stock, new-build and premium retirement housing, retirement housing, extra care housing and nursing/care homes. Looks at housebuilding opportunities to meet current supply and future needs and discusses incentives for downsizing.
