I'm prepared to get flamed here but I'm searching for a new home and I keep seeing lovely 3 bedroom properties which are over 60s only; massive gardens (some with multiple levels but all have to be mown), 3 big bedrooms and cannot help feel the amount of these over 60s only properties (there are loads the further out of London you look) could be going to families in need of housing.
I totally understand over 60s properties are necessary, especially at an affordable price due to people no longer being able to get mortgages, etc. However, I expected that on a different type of property, perhaps 1 or 2 bedrooms with smaller gardens.
My thoughts on it are everyone I know over 60 wants a manageable property and apart from family staying, the over 60s I know are all downsizing for the future. I don't get it but I'm prepared to be enlightened...? AIBU?
