Living with the parents: Quarter of young adults in NI still live in family home

Oisin Cash moved back in with his parents in Belfast in 2020 to save money for a deposit to buy a home.

Now aged 29, he says the housing market has got worse for first-time buyers in that time.

“I don’t see the situation changing, the market is crazy and the amount of money that people need to get together is unachievable for a lot of people,” he said.

“We’re not building enough homes, and I think some public money could be redirected, because there aren’t enough being built.”

Mr Cash is trying to use the co-ownership scheme, in which you buy a percentage share of a property and pay rent on the remainder.

“I think I could have my own place this year, but without the co-ownership scheme it would probably take me about two years to get enough money together.”
