What is a bit of a Mod Edit take is those situations where there's wringing of hands over how to heat a property twice the size actually required, and completely non-means tested payments to do so.
There are already quite a few people who upon reaching retirement do actually downsize already ,they sell the big 1940's detached house or whatever and buy a 2 bed bungalow using any excess cash to add to the pension fund ,most people will do that as a matter of course
