No thanks.
You trying to get rid? Have any kind of price/swap in mind if anyone else is interested? |  |

Not entirely sure as to the point of this thread whether you’re in favour or not.
But from my perspective as someone 25 next month and still at home.. it’s not at all easy to move out. Financially it’s just not viable for one person. So I’m looking at moving in with a mate. I was with other people at uni for three years but after those years of course we all move back to our own towns. So whilst the option of living with my best mate in Manchester is an option, is it viable? Is it realistic to move the other side of the country to live with her? Probably not.
So then it’s a case of finding someone else who will move in? And then finding the money over a course of a few months.
I know the younger generations like mine get a lot of stick but I think now is undoubtedly the worst time for people my age to be moving out. So we remain and slowly save up. It’s not because w necessarily want to or be burdening the parents but it’s because the system in this country is so f**ked that getting somewhere is almost impossible. Even that would be renting anyway. |  |

I think it's less that the parents are more chilled and more that the alternative for a lot of people is being homeless owing to the ludicrous property prices and rents which have increased at a far higher rate than salaries.
I've got a lot of sympathy for those people, I dare say a lot of them would want independence but it's just not realistic for so many. I'm 'only' 10 years older than that, and it wasn't easy then either, but I dare say it's even harder now. |  |

Think there's a lot of truth in what you say.
My nephew is 26, earning 30ish, living at home and saving hard until he can get a deposit. ...Probably to afford an overpriced shared ownership place at some point, which will probably be hit by some cladding-like scandal down the line and hes one of the lucky ones. He doesn't drink or puff - the younger generation seem really virtous to me!
There's been some 'he could always pay rent' grumbling from my mum, but his actual dad is pretty chilled about it |  |

I'm shocked! It's almost as though people have been priced out of the "housing market". |  |

Terrible times when adults cannot afford to leave their parents home.
Doesn’t anyone do house shares any more? Used to be a common thing in the 90s, at least.
I left home at 18 to share a 6 bed house with 5 other people (only knew 1 of them previously) until I had enough wedge to put a deposit on a small 2 bed terrace. |  |

Cost of housing is the issue, youngsters need a fair old whack for the deposit on a house.
But Mum and Dad are also the people who do all they can to stop the new housing estate going up down the road. Nimbyism is the reason behind low numbers of new houses and so house prices are now at sky high levels.
So until people wake up,.stop fighting every planning application like their lives depended on it, started welcoming new housing in their vicinity then guess what, yer kids ain't going to be able to afford to move.out.
We need a fundamental shift in our attitudes to development. Driving around the countryside have you ever seen a sign welcoming a proposal for new houses? No me neither.
Time to start thinking more of the next generation and less of ourselves imho |  |

I was 25 when I moved out of my parents. But then I was lucky as I bought my first house with my girlfriend (now wife). We’ve been together since we were 18, but we’d only really started saving heavily at 23 to buy a place together.
Couldn’t imagine how hard it would be to do it alone, crazy times out there. [Post edited 11 May 2023 20:38]

I was helped on to the properly ladder with cash. For families without that option they can offer low rent/no rent to give them time to save a deposit.
When you consider all costs of renting then living at home is much cheaper even if you pay a reasonable amount of rent.
I would never have got a property without help and since i've been here the price has gone up 49% based on an identical property that sold recently. That is in just 10 years. Unless people can save a lot very quickly for a deposit then the prices go up as fast as people save | |

We have had several holidays together to some lovely places, plus we’ve both had separate holidays with friends etc.
Can’t say I’m too unhappy with how things currently are (I’m 31 now). | |

Maybe they are waiting for them to stop sitting on multiple rental properties, that are conveniently priced so very few people can save for a home.
In fact, why don't we ban people owning more than one property? Let's see how many people can afford to have a home rather than these people having assets. | |

Where do they live though? Because even in cheap Ipswich 1 bedroom in a shared flat is still £500 a month |  |

But what kind of fool would want a job....especially in your late teens and early twenties. The thing is that jumping off the conveyer belt was so much easier back then in my opinion. | |
