Buyers in Britain now receive 41 per cent less space in a home for their money compared to a decade ago, data suggests.
Since 2016, buyers have lost 70 square metres per £300,000 spent compared to 2016, an analysis of Land Registry, Rightmove and energy performance certificates by Post Office Life Insurance said.

How much space has been lost per £300,000 spent in the period varies depending on where you live.
