As part of the annual Beyond the Bricks campaign which looks at home-buying habits and attitudes across the world, new research into the nation’s willingness to buy a ‘forever’ home with a person that wasn’t necessarily their close friend, partner or relative found that more than one in seven young brits would be willing to co-buy with a total stranger, in order to get on the property ladder as going it alone isnt an option. 83% of the nation revealed they will probably never be able to afford to buy their own property.
