flag A UK shortage of bungalows, despite rising demand from older and younger buyers, is limiting housing options for aging populations.

flag A UK survey reveals growing demand for bungalows, especially among homeowners aged 55 and older, with 38% preferring one for their next move. flag However, many are unable to relocate due to a lack of suitable homes, emotional ties to communities, or moving stress. flag Despite high equity, a sharp decline in bungalow construction—down from 11% of new homes in 1990 to just 1% in 2024—has created a critical shortage. flag Advocates say expanding bungalow supply would support independent living for older adults and free up larger homes for younger families. flag Interest is also rising among younger buyers, drawn to single-storey layouts, lower energy costs, and renovation potential. flag Online searches for bungalows have increased 53% over two decades, reflecting a broader shift in housing preferences.
