Working your way up the property ladder has been a rite of passage for decades - buying a studio, trading it in for a small flat then finally owning a terraced property – but what if your first home was your forever home?
Two separate pieces of research, by the RAC and Aviva, have concluded that many of the UK’s estimated 11 million garages never have a car inside. The most recent findings, published in July 2025, cite difficulty in parking (21%), a belief the car is too big (16%) and a driveway preference (42%) as reasons why 28% of garage owners never park their car inside.
Changing how you present your home in line with the seasons is not just a consideration – it’s essential. Shorter days, cooler temperatures and breezy, wetter weather will all affect our homes and outside spaces. If you’re already on the market or hoping to sell in the coming weeks, responding to new conditions can help your chances of success.
