Men get bigger gifts from the Bank of Mum and Dad
Men are receiving larger deposits from the Bank of Mum and Dad, and are using the money to buy property alone. More than a third (42pc) of young men buying for the first time rely on gifts from friends and relatives to fund a deposit, compared to less than a fifth (17pc) of women. Solo homeowners now account for a fifth of all households in England, with single men now the driving force behind the figure. Research by Zoopla last year revealed just under two thirds of first-time buyers (63pc) had received financial help from family. Crucially, however, they found sons tended to receive £13,000 more than daughters. Aneisha Beveridge, head of research at Hamptons, said: 'Greater access to family support for deposits may also be helping more men overcome affordability barriers and buy alone.' A punishing rental market and shifting cultural norms have led to more people than ever before reaching for the independence and security of property, the latest English Housing Survey (EHS) shows. Men's share of the market increased from 38.6pc to 43.8pc over the past 10 years, while women's declined from 61.4pc to 56.2pc. Women have long outnumbered men within the group of those owning property alone, but the direction of travel is clear, as men threaten to dethrone women as the dominant force in solo ownership. Beveridge added: 'For decades, women have led the solo homeownership trend – driven by gains in education, career progression and financial independence. But more recently, men have been catching up. 'It's not entirely clear what's driving this change, but this may reflect a cultural shift, with more men now viewing solo homeownership as a desirable and achievable milestone, rather than something to delay until partnered. Shifting life milestones could also be a factor behind why more men are choosing to buy a home alone. 'With more people going to university, many are renting for longer and delaying homeownership until they're settled in a stable job and location. 'At the same time, marriage and parenthood are happening later in life, meaning more people are buying homes alone rather than as couples. A higher rate of divorce has also contributed to the growing number of solo households.' The increased cost of renting has also made solo ownership more appealing. Since the pandemic, rental costs have risen at a faster pace than house prices. 'I had this thing in my head that a mortgage had to be more [expensive] than rent, but it was actually less,' said software engineer, David Crompton, 37. He first bought with a partner in Newcastle in his mid-20s. The relationship ended shortly after, but he was eager to own again. After saving for five years, he was eventually able to buy a three-bed in the city by himself. 'It just made more sense because [by paying down a mortgage] you're essentially paying yourself.' However, for some buyers, there is more than just finances under consideration when looking to buy property. Claire Holly, 39, a brand consultant, said: 'As a solo female buyer, the hardest part wasn't just affordability, it was finding somewhere I'd actually feel comfortable living alone. 'I started saving in my late-20s, knowing I'd need a big deposit to buy anything decent on a single salary in London. When I finally began looking three years ago, most of what I could afford was in areas I didn't feel comfortable or safe in, or too far from my friends, family and work. 'There's also the paradox of trying to save more while prices keep rising. At times, it felt like a never-ending loop.' Holly was only able to buy in an area she felt safe after receiving a sum of money in her grandma's will. For men, worries about safety from living in an up-and-coming area aren't always as much of an issue, potentially leading the way to cheaper properties that are easier to afford to buy alone. Mark Scales, of estate agent Davies & Davies said: 'From conversations with clients and colleagues, we have noticed that it may be the less established areas that are more often considered by male solo buyers. 'Men may be more able to prioritise long-term growth potential over lifestyle factors such as community feel or perceived safety, which can give them access to a broader range of more affordable properties. 'Whilst not exhaustive by any means, this might provide some insight as to why male solo buyers are increasing in number.'

New Vauxhall and Zoopla tool shows property listings with EV chargers
Househunters worried whether they might be able to plug-in their electric car can now use a new feature that will allow them to check whether a property has EV charging pre-installed, or whether there is infrastructure nearby. Vauxhall has teamed up with property website Zoopla to develop a new tool, which will enable users of the site to filter properties that have EV charging, as well as search for the nearest on-street EV charger – ideal for those looking to purchase a terrace house or apartment. Research from Vauxhall suggests that 40 per cent of homeowners are planning to take EV charging into consideration when purchasing their next property. This is at odds with the fact that over a third (43 per cent) of the population doesn't have off-road parking at home, making EV charging difficult. Adding insult to injury, the properties on Zoopla's website that do mention having EV charging fitted only account for 1.6 per cent of listings. Advertisement - Article continues below Such a figure wouldn't be all that bad if on-street chargers were abundant everywhere, however the vast majority of these are located in London or other major cities. Earlier this year, the government invested £55 million from the Treasury's National Wealth Fund into on-street charging firm Connected Kerb, which should hopefully result in more on-street chargers being installed across the country. Furthermore, Labour also announced a further £25 million to help councils install more cross-pavement charging solutions for those living in houses with on-street parking. This came alongside the widely publicised Electric Car Grant, which will provide a discount of up to £3,750 off the price of a new vehicle – something buyers will eventually be able to benefit from whilst using Auto Express' Find A Car service. Nevertheless, Vauxhall's managing director, Steve Catlin, said: 'Moving house is one of the biggest decisions most of us make in our lifetime… As EVs become an even more common sight on our roads, more and more people will be prioritising charging access when thinking about where to live.'

What Brits look for in a modern home from a quiet neighbourhood to natural light, survey shows
A home with eco-friendly credentials is 'important' for half of those polled MODERN DIGS What Brits look for in a modern home from a quiet neighbourhood to natural light, survey shows Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BRITS have revealed what they look for in a modern home - including plenty of natural light, a quiet neighbourhood - and an EV charger. A poll of 2,000 adults, identified the must haves when it comes to buying a property, with a garage, secure fencing and decent mobile signal also key. 2 Brits have revealed the key features they look for when buying a property Credit: Vauxhall/Zoopla Other necessities included having space for a home office, and a downstairs loo, with proximity to shops, pubs, and restaurants also priorities. It also emerged a home with eco-friendly credentials is "important" for half of those polled - with features such as an electric vehicle (EV) charger. The research was commissioned by Vauxhall, which has teamed up with property marketplace Zoopla to introduce a search filter enabling users to find homes with an EV charger or help them locate the closest public charger to a property. This comes after 40 per cent of drivers polled in the study said access to EV charging facilities near a house they were looking to buy would influence their purchasing decision. While 54 per cent admitted it would be helpful if property marketplaces or apps were to show where the nearest EV chargers are. Spokesperson for the car maker, Steve Catlin, said: 'Moving house is one of the biggest decisions most of us make in our lifetime. 'And anyone who's done it knows how important – and difficult - it is to find the perfect home.' Other attributes adults would like in a modern home include energy-efficient glazing (35 per cent) and a low-maintenance garden (34 per cent). But 51 per cent said that if they were choosing their next home now, access to eco-friendly features like an EV charger would be important to them. While 33 per cent would like a home with both old and new features, and 32 per cent would rather it be completely brand new, compared to 17 per cent who'd want an old house. Ring's flying 'spy drone' that monitors your home in the AIR 'coming 2026' – it stalks burglars & even recharges itself Around seven in 10 (68 per cent) currently have access to a driveway, with 58 per cent of motorists using a petrol car, 17 per cent diesel and 25 per cent a hybrid, electric or plug-in hybrid. But 47 per cent would be more likely to buy an electric or hybrid vehicle, if there was easy access to charging near their home, according to the figures. Steve Catlin, spokesperson for Vauxhall, which partnered with Zoopla as part of its 'Electric Streets of Britain' campaign, to improve on-street charging for households without driveways, added: 'As EVs become an even more common sight on our roads, more and more people will be prioritising charging access when thinking about where to live. 'We hope the features we have worked with Zoopla to introduce go some way to make decisions around buying and renting a new home that little bit easier for millions across the country.'
