Explaining the data:
This information comes from a 2011 report by Dr Eleni Karagiannaki at LSE (‘Recent Trends in the size and the distribution of inherited wealth in the UK’). The original data come from HMRC statistics on inherited estates, and the Attitudes to Inheritance Survey. We define ‘real inheritance’ as any inheritance of over £2,000.
