More than two-thirds of people say it takes over a week for a property they have just moved into to feel like home, a survey has found.

Some 68% of people feel this way, while 39% take longer than a month to feel at home, according to Zoopla, which questioned more than 2,000 people across Britain.

More than a third (37%) of people deep clean their property on the first day of moving in, while a fifth (20%) celebrate with a takeaway, the poll revealed.

One in 14 (7%) get stuck into making home improvements.

Richard Houston, consumer spokesman at Zoopla, which has guides to help first-time buyers, said: "We think the home is a deeply meaningful place."
