Only 24% of second homes are used solely for that purpose

Gill - Head Gillian Bell Aug 30, 2023, 14:00 PM

Latest data from the English Housing Survey reveals that there are 3.3 million second homes. Of that, the vast majority are rented out (69%).

A small portion are second homes which are due to be rented out or sold shortly (6%) and a very small slice are used by student children (just 1%).

Which means the remainder (24%) are used exclusively as a second home. Source: #Dataloft, English Housing Survey, data for 2021–2022
