National Association of Estate Agents in the UK publishes disappointing statistics: only 6% of home buyers are young people under 30. Data of Youth Council of Spain is also depressing: to get away from the parents young people need to earn twice as much as now, writes ee24.com citingindependent.co.uk and spanishpropertyinsight.com.
In Britain the following trends are observed: demand for homes generally increase in spring, and most of those looking for housing are couples (89%). Most British admit that before moving they set property in order, and only one in five leaves his living space "as it is".
Life of youth in Spain is not easier. They need to earn 86% more to be able to purchase housing. And this despite the fact that property in Spain has been falling in price for the last seven years! Only one in four young Spaniards leaves his father's house, the others continue to live with their parents.
