New research suggests only one in five people think they’re living in their dream home. That’s according to figures from Halifax Insurance on home improvements in the U.K. The insurer says planning applications for basements and roof conversions have gone up by nearly a third in the last five years. Melanie Abbott talks to Melanie Backe-Hansen, a historian and author who has looked at our changing attitudes to our homes. First broadcast on You & Yours, 24 August 2017.
