An extraordinary recent poll by Barratt shows:
- 71% rated home ownership an eight or above in importance (out of ten)
- 46% rated marriage as important
- 44% gave having children the same rating
- 27% considered an active social life an eight or more
- Between the ages of 18 and 24, that 71% rises to 81%
The Rat and Mouse was founded in order to comment on the UK obsession with home ownership, so it takes a lot to shock us. Given recent events - the debt crisis, with property at its centre - we weren't expecting these kinds of results in 2010.
