First time buyer but an odd situation

xylophone

The fact that you are considering what might happen if you bought the property and later married, seems to me to indicate that your culture does not necessarily dictate that a new bride must be prepared to accept living with her in-laws.

There have been a number of posts on these boards where problems have arisen in variations of the scenario you describe.

In your position, I would buy a property in my own name and move into it, leaving the parents to stay in their existing home with the siblings (or to move somewhere smaller/cheaper if more appropriate).

I didn't tell him his preferences are wrong.

I quoted and responded to your post with my first paragraph, but my second paragraph was directed at the way this thread has gone in general, not your post in particular. Of course no one has outright said the OP's preferences are wrong, but they have been offering unsolicited advice on his/her personal life that basically says s/he shouldn't live with his/her parents or expect a future spouse to.

Some people are different from you (generic, not you, Mojisola). The OP is asking about what the implications of different ways of owning the property are in certain circumstances, not what living with his/her parents will do for his/her dating life.
