We all know of the dreaded ‘7 year itch’ driving many a stable relationship onto the rocks… But we were able to reveal with property pals at Zoopla.co.uk that it applies equally to the way that we feel about our homes. Indeed, the average British homeowner looks around at other properties on the market after seven years and four months in their current home, in what has been coined as ‘the end of the homey-moon period’.

And with The Daily Mail, The Express, The Record and AOL revealing that 52% of Brits who are currently house hunting have admitted that they feel guilty about looking at other properties, 56% go even further to say they have gone as far as to hide their hunt from partners, family or housemates…

Nick Leeming of Zoopla.co.uk has shed light on why we’re succumbing to these guilty searches suggesting “Property websites have made looking at what else is out there easier than ever and no doubt there are many supposedly happy homeowners secretly taking a quiet peak whilst their partner is none the wiser.”
