The Telegraph spoke to local property experts and advisor platform First In The Door about a rising number of grandparents moving closer to their grandchildren to help with soaring childcare costs.
While some grandparents are moving nearby, others are moving in. Claire Whisker, of the property advisory platform First In The Door, says: “We’ve had more requests for homes with self-contained annexes within the main home, and coach houses or garages which could be converted into small flats for grandparents in the last month or so than we have previously.”.
