Most home movers over the past five years stayed in similar locations, with 63% moving within the same type of area. Just 9% moved from towns or cities to rural spots, partly balanced by 7% heading the other way.
Younger buyers tended to favour urban moves, while older movers, especially those over 55, were more likely to head for the countryside, often in search of more space or a bigger garden.
