Buying a House Together is a Bigger Commitment Than Getting Married for 25-34 Year Olds
Halifax publishes State of the Nation Mortgages research data
(firmenpresse) - HALIFAX, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 11/20/12 -- New Halifax research data shows that 28% of 25-34 year olds in the UK believe that buying a house with someone is a bigger commitment than getting married. Halifax's State of the Nation: , published today, also showed a difference between the ages when it comes to homebuying with partners - as only around one in four (28%) 25-34 year olds were married when they bought their home with their partner, compared to nearly three in four (73%) 35-44 year olds.
The research also showed that four out of five homeowners believe they would find it harder to get a mortgage if they were , and that there is a gap between the sexes when it comes to mortgage payments; as over 1 in 10 women pay more than half their average income on their mortgage, compared to only 1 in 20 men who pay the equivalent amount.
Stephen Noakes, Mortgage Director, said:
"It is interesting to see how different age groups see the market differently. Those aged 25-34, who in the majority of cases would have been buying their first house during or after the financial crisis, have clearly been affected. The fact that theirs is the only generation that thinks buying a home with someone is a bigger commitment than getting married speaks volumes.
"It is surprising to see that so many people don't pay attention to their mortgage debts - we would always recommend that customers keep track of their finances."
