The shortage of housing has come into sharp focus as politicians court the votes of young people who are struggling to get on to the property ladder. All the main parties are committed to building more homes but ideas about freeing up existing stock seem to have been kicked into the long grass. One of those was 'downsizing' - the idea that retired people might sell the family home and move into something more modest, to make space for young families. So far the idea hasn't really taken off. What would it take to persuade you to sell up and downsize? Peter White talks to Paula Higgins, Chief Executive of the HomeOwners Alliance, and Gary Day from McCarthy & Stone.
