We ask Birmingham: Should adult children live at home due to rising house prices?

Watch the video to see what people on the streets of Birmingham think about this.

One Brummie said: “So I have two, what we could call adult children now. My son is almost 18, works full time and my daughter is 20, nearly 21, also works, still obviously live at home with me. And if I'm honest, I'm happy for them to live with me until they're able to afford to buy somewhere of their own.”

Another added: “I would up to a certain extent, obviously the property ladder is very hard to get on and you don't want to push your child out of your home if you know they're going to struggle. So financially, I think it's up to a parent to take responsibility and do the necessary for their child at the end of the day.”

Another said: “On a long term basis, no. I think if it's a short term, you know, stop gap whilst you're trying to briefly save the last little bit for your housing deposit or if there's an incident or someone being made redundant, then yeah, absolutely. I think that's what families are there for, to help each other out. But I don't think it's a long term solution to have family members just moving back in with you. “
