The study also found that nearly a million people in the UK are expecting to become a parent within the next few months, and roughly 14 per cent of these are still living in homes that are too small to accommodate their new arrival.
Samantha Baden, a property analyst at FindaProperty, said: "With the average cost of a three bedroom home in the UK now in the region of £193,000, affordability remains a key issue for families.
"Very few families can afford to buy or rent a property that meets their exact size and location requirements, and as a result, they are often forced to compromise on one or the other.
"These findings reinforce the importance of investing quality time in the search for a home that meets the needs of the family both now and in the future." ( telegraph.co.uk )
