Call You & Yours: What's your experience of downsizing?

You and Yours

Available for over a year

On Today's Call You and Yours, we want to talk all about downsizing. Nearly three in five over-65s are considering downsizing our home but moving costs (like increased stamp duty), attachments to family living locally and a shortage of suitable homes lie bungalows are stopping them. That's according to a new survey from the Family Building Society. So we want to know your experience. Have you downsized? Are you considering downsizing but aren't sure? Maybe you have a relative that you think should move to a smaller property but won't, or can't, for one reason or another? Our phone lines open at 11am on Tuesday - 03700 100 444 or you can email us: youandyours@bbc.co.uk PRESENTER: SHARI VAHL PRODUCER: LYDIA THOMAS
