Kingfisher publishes the second European Home Report
Changing trends and demographic developments have more impact on the European housing situation than ever before. This is the conclusion drawn from a survey carried out by the authors of the European Home Report. The British DIY group Kingfisher has, for the second time after 2012, sought answers from the countries in which the group is active, for example Great Britain, France, Ireland, Poland, Spain, Russia, Romania, Germany and Turkey.
According to the survey, three-quarters (77 per cent) of Europeans think that their homes have to be adapted to their current family situation, a fifth (22 per cent) indicated that they need more space. Almost half of the respondents (46 per cent) said that they would like to have or they already have a home office.
Another finding of the survey is that the majority (65 per cent) of people worry about rising energy prices. That is the reason why eight times more people than two years ago, see energy saving measures at the top of their priority list: Almost a third (31 per cent) now want to improve the energy efficiency of their house or apartment.
There are however, also very different reasons to improve one’s housing situation: 39 per cent want to show that they are successful and want to impress their friends.
The specialist magazine DIY International will include a detailed review on the European Home Report in its next issue.
