Football fever kicks off at home

Football fever kicks off at home

We take a quick look at football in this country at the grass roots level

  • As the 2022 FIFA World Cup closes in on it's finally, football fever starts at grassroots levels in the UK, on the local playing fields scattered throughout our towns and villages.
  • There are more than 21,600 community playing fields in Great Britain, occupying over 54,000 hectares, enough space for 76,000 football pitches!
  • Football is the UK’s favourite spectator sport and the most popular team sport to participate in. An estimated 13.5 million people regularly play in some form.
  • England’s famous EURO 2022 win, attended by a record 87,912 people, is set to drive a growth in UK women’s football. In England alone, over 416,000 new opportunities to engage women and girls in grassroots football activities across schools, clubs and the community have been created as part of the event’s legacy.

The "Generation Rent" narrative is shifting. New data shows under-35 homeownership jumped from 31% to 42% in a decade, while it actually fell for those aged 35-64. While affordability is still a hurdle, the dream of owning a home is far from dead for the youth. Is "Generation Rent" getting older? We explore the changing property landscape.

The rental market continues to shift, with new rules, rising rents and affordability pressures all shaping landlord decisions. July is a good time to review your property and your plans.

Rental growth has eased, but tenants are still searching carefully and landlords need to stay on top of pricing, compliance and property standards as the summer moving season continues.
