Recent research from the Halifax has shown that young women are increasingly choosing to buy their first home alone. With 51% of Britain's population now women the proportion of mortgages taken out by single women has more than doubled from 9.8% in 1983 to 23.1% in 2003. Women, as well as living longer than men, also leave home earlier than their male peers - 56% of men and only 37% of women in England aged 20-24 live at home with their parents. http://www.hbosplc.com/economy/ResearchReleases.as p
