The average age to buy your first home in the UK is now 37 years old. But, the average age that people move out of their parents is still the early 20s. After flying their parent's nest and stepping out into the world as young adults, most stay in a rented property rather than getting on the property ladder. As a result, they have been termed Generation Rent.

We watch all the TV shows about renovations and self-builds, lapping it up. We critique their interior design ideas and landscaped gardens. We watch people make mistakes and go vastly over budget. But still, the end result is usually marvellous. A labour of love to cherish - a forever home.

Buying a house is a complicated process. A legal professional must ensure no issues with the property you buy. And, as with many things that involve legal professionals, it seems as if it takes forever! Is it possible to speed things up?

Homeownership is something that the majority of people in the UK strive for. The average age of first-time buyers in the UK in 2007 was 30. But, by the end of 2017, that had risen to 33. With rising house prices, how is the average person in the UK expected to get on the housing ladder?
