Indoor and outdoor space has always been a big draw for home searchers. But it is now top of most people’s lists as the article suggests.

These new desires may end up being temporary, but they do make for interesting reading.

The findings also highlight that due to the rise in home working, having a spare room which can be used as an office or workout area, is increasingly popular with property seekers.

As is good wi-fi, a pet-friendly home and having parks or a natural environment nearby.

Number two on the buyers wish list is having a garden. With many of the 4000 potential movers surveyed saying it was what they desired most from a home.

Flats have dropped out of the top five wanted list for buyers according to Rightmove’s research based on the number of enquiries per property of each type. 

Record-Breaking Weather

May was the sunniest UK calendar month on record according to the Met Office.

And it is possible that all that good weather played a part in another trend the article covered – a rise in demand for properties in coastal areas.

Here is a list of the most significant changes in home searchers desires:

Access to a garden

A bigger home

Access to a garage

A better home workspace

Live closer to parks

A pet-friendly home
