An online survey has been launched which asks for people’s views on “downsizing”.
A SurveyMonkey set of questions has been designed by the Edinburgh-based website, collectiveselfbuild.substack.com
The aim is to gauge the appetite for not-for-profit housing designed to resident specifications – including environmental standards, security, energy efficiency and sharing resources – even if it means slightly smaller properties. The survey is Scotland-wide.
The editor of CollectiveSelfBuild is Mike Wilson, a former trustee of Cohousing Scotland.
Mike said: “It’s a data-gathering exercise that might help formulate policy and shape approaches to funders and building firms.
“The possibilities are endless when housing is not presented as take-it-or-leave-it.
“If you know someone who might be interested in moving to a new, “rightsized” home, do let them know.”
The survey ends on 25 November and can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3QBT7T9
