Among non-homeowners, 76% of 25-34-year-olds and 59% of 35-44-year-olds still aspire to buy a home, but this drops to 38% for 45-54-year-olds, 20% for 55-64-year-olds, and 8% for those over 65.

Concurrently, UK house prices saw a monthly increase of 0.2% in June, marking the first rise in four months, with the average property value reaching £299,330.
