According to Zoopla’s latest research, UK buyers have been prioritising the following 10 features when searching for their dream home (offering a clear snapshot of how practical needs and lifestyle aspirations are shaping the property market): 💹
1. Garages remain number one 🚗
Garages continue to top buyer wish lists, with double garages proving especially popular. Beyond parking, buyers value the extra storage and flexibility, particularly as electric vehicles, bikes and home gyms become more common.
2. New-build buying schemes 💷
Affordability support is a major draw. Schemes such as Deposit Unlock, which allows purchases with a 5% deposit, and Own New – Rate Reducer, which lowers mortgage rates for an initial period, are keeping new-build homes firmly in demand.
3. Annexes for flexible living 🏠
Homes with annexes are increasingly sought after, reflecting the rise of multigenerational living. Buyers see annexes as ideal for elderly relatives, adult children or potential rental income, offering privacy alongside convenience.
4. Rural living 🌿
Interest in rural homes continues to grow as buyers look for quieter surroundings, more space and a slower pace of life. Countryside living remains a strong alternative to busy urban centres.
5. Homes with land 🌳
Searches for properties with an acre or more of land show a growing appetite for space. Buyers are drawn to the possibilities, whether for leisure use, smallholdings or simply greater privacy.
6. Large gardens 🌼
A generous garden remains a timeless priority. Families, gardeners and home workers all value outdoor space for wellbeing, recreation and everyday living.
7. Swimming pools 🏊
Swimming pools add a sense of luxury and aspiration. Both indoor and outdoor pools appeal to buyers seeking lifestyle upgrades and long-term enjoyment at home.
8. Sea views 🌊
Coastal living continues to capture buyers’ imaginations. Sea views are associated with calm, escapism and a lifestyle change rather than just a property feature.
9. Driveways 🔌
Private driveways are increasingly important, particularly in towns and cities. Secure parking and the convenience of home EV charging make driveways a highly practical feature.
10. HMOs for investors 📈
Investor interest remains strong, with HMOs attracting buyers focused on rental yields and consistent demand in student areas and commuter towns.
Overall, Zoopla’s data shows buyers balancing practicality and lifestyle. Everyday essentials such as garages, driveways and flexible living spaces sit alongside aspirational features like pools, sea views and rural settings. Space, affordability and adaptability remain key drivers of buyer demand in 2025.
