Designed by the CollectiveSelfBuild housing website, the questions aim to gauge the appetite for housing designed to resident specifications - including environmental standards, security, energy efficiency and sharing resources - even if it means slightly smaller properties.

The editor of CollectiveSelfBuild is Mike Wilson, a former trustee of Cohousing Scotland.

Mike said: “It’s a data-gathering exercise that might help formulate policy and shape approaches to funders and building firms.

“The possibilities are endless when housing is not presented as take-it-or-leave-it.

“If you know someone who might be interested in moving to a new, ‘rightsized’ home, do let them know.”

The survey ends on November 25 and can be found here.
