Would you consider housemates later in life?

Whether by choice or necessity, living with housemates in later life is on the rise.

Most seek out shared living situations for financial reasons, particularly in expensive cities. Others look for housemates or choose other communal living options for companionship.

For some pensioners, inviting a lodger or flatmate to live with them is a practical way to manage expenses.

Divorce later in life also means some lose access to their family homes and must seek an alternative situation.

Living with strangers in later life comes with its challenges, but can also be a refreshing change. It’s a simple way to downsize without giving up all your independence.
