Less than one in five people would like to live in a newly-built home, according to a YouGov survey.
The poll found that just 18% of adults said they would “prefer to live in” a house that was built in the last ten years.
This compares with 24% who wanted to live in a house built between 10 and 50 years ago, 23% in a home built between 50 and 100 years ago and 17% in a house that was built over a century ago.
