And yet the number of properties with [U]TWO OR MORE[/U] spare bedrooms has gone up from 6 million to 8 million over the past decade.

We are just not using our properties efficiently!
(e.g. Marlinspike Hall has FIVE bedrooms with just myself and my carer living here. I am part of the problem and doing very nicely thank you.
