    . We can ask them to move out at any time and my partner is happy with this.

    Lastly and by no means leastly supposing you find a partner and settle down. Will they be willing to share a home with your parents?

    .


    Apparently so.

    money and family don't mix, you will find that space and privacy are something you will miss, especially when you have children.

    Sounds horrendous to me, but each to their own.

    What kind of house do your parents live in? Council, housing association, private? This makes a big difference to whether it's a good idea for your parents.

    Still wouldn't consider it myself.

    Also I don't see the point in buying a family home if you're just going to move more people into it and have less space. Buy a smaller house that you can afford and have some privacy for you and your partner.

    I've been living with parents free of charge all my life. I now have saved enough for a deposit since graduating and want them to do the same. Can I move them in with me and return the favour?

    Confusing a bit.

    Absolutely!

    And also somewhat delusional.

    If you live in a council house, should they live with you and then you ask them to leave, they are very unlikely to get another council property because of long waiting lists.

    There is a recent thread, in this section, about old people who have 'given' money to family to extend a home for them to share, but now are likely to both need care.
