Be HomeWise...
Support the RIBA's campaign to improve the quality of the nation's new build housing. We want to empower the consumer to demand better - and to be better informed - when renting or buying a home.
How big should your home be?
Whether its space to think or space for the kids to play, we all know space matters, yet most new homes fall short of recommended standards. See how your home measures up and take the Nest Test|.
Do modern homes accommodate modern lifestyles?
HomeWise will conduct a nationwide campaign to find out what people need from their homes. See our current research| and help the Future Homes Commission collect crucial information by taking our survey| to inform the future of homes in the UK.
