My first daughter left at 18 into council accommodation. My son bought a property at 27, that was 10 years ago. My 29yr old daughter is still living at home with her 8yr old daughter. She contributes to household bills, but it's very hard to get on the property ladder or even get council accommodation and she works in estate agents. And my 17yr old is home too. I wouldn't have it any other way. They have a home here for as long as they wish. It's very hard for the youngsters to afford property, council tax, gas, electric etc: and still have a decent standard of life.
