Once you have an idea what type of accommodation will suit you, you can work out how much money you need for upfront costs and ongoing costs.

When you imagine your ideal living space, think beyond the decor, unless you are paying top dollar be prepared for some threadbare carpets and some 1970’s colour schemes in your future.

Once you have decided you are moving out, put a little time aside to think about why you want to move and how your life will change for the better.

Don’t wait to find out what you don’t know until you move out of home.

When you decide to move out have a plan and share it with your parents.
