want to get out of parents

Martico

Yeah, forget the self-imposed birthday deadline and start viewing places if that's your ultimate desire. Otherwise you'll just confuse and delay matters even further. Just get on with it. Don't look for perfect - it doesn't exist. Look for somewhere you feel you can make a happy place to live

I would suspect you will only find your 'forever' house after selling two previous HOMES.

Yes, but do it after interest rates have done their work of bringing down prices, in the meantime go for the cheap flat share and tune out the buy buy buy nonsense you are going to hear form a lot of people with mortgages, good luck!

OP is already finding it difficult to put up with living with parents, so your suggestion is to go and live with strangers?  Agenda much?

Sharing with strangers could be better than living with parents in some circumstances because they treat you as an equal rather than as their child. All of which has been discussed earlier in the thread.

A good point.

Actually, both good points, I think every possible permutation, option and consideration has been on this thread somewhere.

i think my best option is rent by myself even if its not my desired area, which should help motivate me to  buy and get back to an area i prefer. whilst also giving me some space and peace and quiet. 
theres a few possibilities within 10 miles and within my price range.
hopefully i dont need to  go down the house share route.
for the rental i think id prefer furnished but i guess i can buy a few items if needed if it isnt. dont want to have too much stuff to move about /assemble/disassemble.

And lock yourself into a 12 month tenancy, what happens if your dream property pops up after a month?

you can usually cut off at 6 months if you give 2 months notice at the 4 month stage. purchase will take best part of  6 months going by experience in the past

Didn’t realise you’d had so much purchase experience?
yes it can take up to 6 months, it also could take 2,3,4 or 5 months 🤷‍♀️
I’m intrigued OP what property would it have to be for you to consider buying? 🤔
