Is moving back in with parents a good option?

My boyfriend and I moved into a flat a year ago ( rented)

It’s £1200 a month which is actually a good deal in the grand scheme of things and we do have money left over each month but it would take AGES to save for our own house.

My parents are so close to us and they’d love to have us back - rent free to save for a deposit. We’d just need to pay for bills ( no council tax) and some food but I know what my mums like and she is likely to buy the majority.

Is this a good option in terms of wanting to save for a deposit? We would save a lot I reckon

Well you have to consider what mortgage you could get, the deposit you need, type of house you are looking for, how much you would actually save and if you and a partner actually want to live with your parents for a potentially long time.

Probably a £35K deposit to buy our own flat but we’re both on decent salaries and get good bonuses so realistically we could probably save for this in two years / 2 and a half years
