This is the otherside of the current housing trap in the UK.
There are many old people hanging on in homes they can't afford to heat or maintain.
Were there more suitable accommodation for them and perhaps some incentive to move,
it would free up the house they are living in for younger families. At present it seems
that in Brown's Britain that they have to die before housing is efficiently allocated by the
market. The real problem is that Brown has broken the housing market by removing
MIRAS and introducing stamp duty.
