Lodges and caravans are the most popular holiday home

Our survey also discovered that the majority are looking to buy alternative homes, with lodges and caravans being the most popular.

Alternative homes took the top spot with 37%, followed by 36% saying they were looking for a house and 27% wanted a flat.
