Swindon people were the third most likely to downsize in 2024 according to new data.
Removals firm Any Van analysed statistics related to more than 142,000 UK home removals.
The company discovered what it terms a shift in gears in how people move, including a notable increase in downsizing compared with 2023.
In Swindon, 19 percent of moves represented a downsize, which was six percent up on 2023, and the Swindon figure was behind only East Central London at 20 percent and Wolverhampton at 21 percent.
Angus Elphinstone, owner of AnyVan, said: “It’s been a tough few years for many homeowners but, with the market making a bit of a rebound last year, more people are back on the move, with different priorities to a few years ago.
"We’ve seen families in Stevenage stretching for that extra bedroom while people in Wolverhampton opt for smaller quarters.
"But whichever way you’re moving on the ladder, we’re proud that AnyVan has been chosen by so many to make it that bit easier.”
AnyVan was started by Angus in 2009 with the mission of halving the number of wasted miles travelled by vans, while making moving easy and affordable.
