Research from Nationwide shows that 29 is considered the age when house sharing becomes socially ‘embarrassing,’ yet a significant 11% of people in this age group still live with parents, friends, or even strangers. This trend is driven largely by affordability issues, with 69% citing that living alone is financially out of reach.
