Im lucky though i converted my shed (used to be a cattle shed) into a little flat thing so i can shag/smoke in peace without all my parents breathing down my neck. Think im gonna waite till im 25
Same as, I live in a converted garage with my own front door, I don't even live in my house.

I'm 23 and my girlfriend's 20. We both stay with our parents, even together we couldn't affoard our own place as she's still at college. In a year or 2 once she's graduated and got a job we'll maybe think about it.

Bought at 26. I wouldn't even consider doing anything until the Bank of England decides if its going to crash house prices any time soon.

Have been offered the chance to move out in july which is very tempting with my gf (also 23) but as you say marc, thats £600+ a month down the pisser for what?> Independance? I have that at home.

TBH i think people will panic buy anything in their price bracket if the rates show any sign of going up any higher
