Alongside the research, the Centre has published ‘Open Plan’, a policy discussion paper that explores what the findings of the research mean for the different policy agendas around older homeowners:\u00a0specialist housing and home adaptations; under-occupancy and housing supply; the use of housing wealth to fund retirement; and, housing wealth taxation and fairness.<\/p>\n

The report argues the government should:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Increase the supply and take-up of specialist retirement housing – in the right locations;<\/li>\n
  2. Tackle the barriers and costs of moving home for older homeowners;<\/li>\n
  3. Tackle the affordability gap\u2019 for older homeowners through partial\/shared ownership and \u2018Help to Buy\u2019;<\/li>\n
  4. Help older homeowners \u2018downsize in place\u2019.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
