The average new-build British home is 76 square metres; a typical single-wide mobile home ranges from 60 to 93 square metres.
We're a crowded island, we have small houses.
- dagw 10y agoWe're a crowded island, we have small houses. The UK has a lower population density the than both Belgium and Holland, both of which have larger average houses than the UK. So there has to be more to it than simply being 'crowded'.
- HarryHirsch 10y agoHaven't run the numbers, but the impression is that the South of England is much more densely populated. The majority of people lives south of the M62 and east of the M5/M6 highways. And then there's greenbelts to prevent the endless exurbanization.
- dagw 10y agoGood point. Greater London, Hertfordshire, Surrey, Essex and Kent all have a higher population density than Holland, and between them count for a significant part of the UK population.
- mrow84 10y agoWhen you go north, and more generally away from population centres, the houses do seem to be quite a bit larger. There, of course, there are other limiting factors, most often wages.
