With house prices having risen over the last decade, many young people have found it tough to get on the property ladder. Some are choosing to co-buy with friends, but it is not without its risks.
Courtney McClure is buying a six-bedroom house with her husband Alex and another couple in south London.
The deal is almost complete and the group is excited to make the property in Sydenham, which has a large garden and big communal spaces, their own.
Pooling their resources with another couple has enabled them to buy in a "much more appealing" location with better transport links than if they had bought a place separately, Courtney says.
"We're getting a lot more for our money," adds Alex, a 32-year-old sound engineer.
I don't think I'd have much interest in this, TBH. I mean, obviously I do like my friends, but I don't think I could stand being around them all the time!
What about you?
