In this new Housing LIN guest blog, Louise Drew, head of building communities and the research conducted by law firm Shakespeare Martineau, highlights the consequences of misconceptions about retirement housing schemes that are putting people off from leaving their larger properties and finding better suited places to live.

Louise reveals how older tenants in social housing make up 40% of under-occupied homes, impacting the whole housing lifecycle.

Hear more from Louise at the Housing LIN’s Summit 2023 – A Festival of Ideas on Mon 27th Feb from 10:00am, of which Shakespeare Martineau is a proud sponsor.
