Buying a home is like falling in love, you can expect to go through the same ups and downs.

Love at first sight? Never settle for what doesn’t feel right. The average owner occupier spends 17.6 years in their home, so pick well and be ready to commit to a long-term relationship.

Owner occupiers who are mortgage free have been in their property the longest, staying an average 23.8 years. Those buyers with a mortgage stay a shorter, but still significant, 9.3 years on average. Source: Dataloft by PriceHubble, English Housing Survey 2023–2024
