Families under one roof: multi-generation living and loft conversions

First published

Research by the US Census Bureau has found that 20% of America’s population live in households with several generations of one family, usually including grandparents and grandchildren.

Reasons given include the cost of housing, the cost of childcare, and the cost of caring for a parent or relative with health needs.

Making room for the whole family

To meet this demand, builders are converting properties to add living space in the roof, or rearranging homes to include an extra bathroom or kitchen.

The same pressures apply to UK homeowners, and with today’s uncertainty there’s never been a better time to consider a loft conversion to add space to your home.
