You\u2019ve done everything expected of you. You have a job. You might even have a shiny degree. But you still don\u2019t have the keys to your own place. Turns out having a foot on both the housing and corporate ladder can be quite a stretch for independent, young women. So maybe you shouldn\u2019t have cancelled your yoga membership to help save after all. Thanks for that advice, boomers. Because you still haven\u2019t achieved real success: being in a relationship and moving out. Who knew independence now needs a plus one? And why does this only seem to apply to women?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m no number guru, but it feels like if I want to move out of home anytime soon as a single woman in my twenties, I should’ve started saving whilst I was in nappies. But it gets better. According to the Office for National Statistics<\/a>, as of April 2024, men are taking home on average \u00a31.36 more an hour than women. No, I\u2019m hardly going to pay for a deposit with this alone, but it all adds up. And just think of all the avocados, coffees-to-go and Netflix subscriptions this could fund. But maybe these luxuries are just reserved to men now, because a survey by SpareRoom<\/a>, one of the most popular sites for finding property shares, found one in three women spend over half of their paycheck on rent alone. But men? Just one in four. So it also doesn\u2019t take a financial expert to know that earning less but paying more is hardly doing wonders for the bank balance. Maybe even nappies are too late. Can I still be a nepo baby instead?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gender pay gap was also female-focussed financial advisor Simon Gladding\u2019s top reason women are disadvantaged on the housing ladder. \u201cThe tendency for caring roles to fall to women and the fact that women do more part-time work all contribute to this too,\u201d he says. \u201cThere are advantages that women should make the most of. This could involve learning to invest, making the most of workplace pension schemes or negotiating a higher salary. Having only one income might also mean you aren’t able to access the same level of mortgage as you could if you were in a relationship and had two incomes. So where single women in particular aren’t doing these things, their financial situation will suffer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a beacon of hope. While men may already have their foot in the door, I shouldn\u2019t have to wait to be carried over the threshold. Kyra Nagara, a 25 year old assistant brand manager, moved out of her family home in Manchester a year ago, after accepting a job opportunity in London. She rents a flat in Stratford with two women of a similar age, and found the bedroom on SpareRoom. \u201cIt’s a difficult balance. I\u2019m earning more now but I’m also paying significantly more to be here,\u201d Kyra says. \u201cPhysically, moving such a long distance away from home was really stressful and it took a lot of planning. But in London in particular, housing seems so much more competitive and lots of properties I was interested in would get snapped up really quickly. I feel like I got really lucky with finding this place, especially as I\u2019ve never lived in the South before, so I couldn\u2019t come to loads of viewings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCulturally, it also took me some time to adjust to the fast paced life of London. It\u2019s very different to what I\u2019m used to, even having lived in a big city before. But I really enjoy how accessible everything is. Transport is easy which is great because there\u2019s always new places to explore. But that also all obviously comes at a cost which is more expensive than back at home. Financially, it was definitely an adjustment. Initially I didn\u2019t realise how important it would be to manage my money and strictly budget but now I do that and allocate certain amounts of money to rent, food and leisure to ensure I stay on track. At times my mum has helped me out when I\u2019ve felt a bit short on money, but I\u2019ve never accepted anything major.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t say I felt massive pressure to move out, and my family were really supportive. I moved out on my own timeline and would encourage others to do the same regardless of any societal pressure. I can see how it definitely would have been easier if I did this with a partner. Spreading the cost of a property is an obvious advantage, and when I was looking for rooms to rent I found a lot more two bedroom properties rather than just a spare room which would only really work for a solo, single person. But other than that I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any huge disadvantages of moving out as a single woman. Do what makes you happy. Moving out without a partner is a lot of fun and having a partner isn\u2019t the be all and end all of life, especially whilst you\u2019re young. Enjoy it and live for yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, that sounds amazing! I\u2019m suddenly looking into what\u2019s definitely a pyramid scheme in the hope of affording this myself. But even in the same city, not all moving experiences are the same. For Jodie McCartney, a 24 year old student and restaurant supervisor from Surrey, the fairly close move to New Malden had other reasons. \u201cI felt I had outgrown my home environment and due to childhood trauma, I didn\u2019t feel it was a positive place for me to be in anymore,\u201d she says. \u201cI lived in my childhood home with my mum, younger brother and occasionally my dad, but moved to a flat share with a 25 year old woman and a 22 year old man who are siblings and their mum owns the apartment. Because I\u2019d never moved out before, I had felt a lot of societal pressure too. I had wanted to move for some time before I actually did, but I didn\u2019t really know how to navigate the process, especially in this economy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simon regularly works with women with different experiences when seeking financial advice. \u201cSome women I meet have grown up being told \u2018money isn’t for them\u2019. This is pretty close to blatant exclusion of women from an important area of life. There are also lots of less obvious ways women might get this kind of message when growing up. Culture and media images seem to encourage women to be \u2018savers\u2019 rather than investors. But when investing, women tend to achieve better returns because they take a more diversified approach, do more research before investing, and trade less often,\u201d he says. \u201cSo it’s a shame that societal influences tend to work in the opposite direction, because when women learn what they need to, there is nothing to stop them from becoming successful and financially empowered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, pyramid scheme abandoned, how could I actually start the process of even finding properties that are right for me? \u201cI found this place through a Facebook group for girls who rent in London. I had joined quite a few of these groups in the hope of finding safe spaces for women, as well as speaking to letting agents to look for other possible options I could afford,\u201d Jodie says. \u201cThis was really important for me, because the most challenging aspect of moving out was leaving the security of a \u2018safe\u2019 environment. Having to go somewhere new was both physically and mentally a big challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This concern has also been brought to the government\u2019s attention. A policy briefing<\/a> by The Women\u2019s Budget Group focused on the typically worse living situations for women compared to men, which included a lack of affordability, ownership and safety. But this still doesn\u2019t seem to be improving. The long term affordability of property is something Jodie and Kyra have both had to consider. \u201cAs I have a student loan and I work, my spending habits haven\u2019t changed much except for having to spend more on things like weekly food shops and bills. But my savings are affected more as this means I now can\u2019t save anywhere near as much as I used to at home,\u201d says Jodie. \u201cThis worries me for my future because the renting market at the moment is appalling. Having a job isn\u2019t enough to rent a shared property nowadays, let alone on your own. It\u2019s so extortionate to the point it\u2019s making it nearly impossible for young people to ever have their own homes which is devastating as we work equally hard as other generations, if not more so.\u201d These factors have also changed Kyra\u2019s future hopes of home ownership. \u201cBuying my own property is something I\u2019ve always been interested in, but it\u2019s not in my near plans. Because of how costly everything is, I actually feel more comfortable renting and not having the pressure of being tied to a property. But the renting market is definitely exploitative, especially when rents increase every year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Housing clearly has its problems. As someone who has not even started seriously looking into my options yet, I\u2019m not entirely sure I even want to. I don’t know if I could face a housing rejection as well as Hinge one. But according to Simon, this is normal. \u201cAcknowledge that getting on the housing ladder is hard, particularly for women on their own. Buying your first property in 2025 is challenging. It is more challenging in the 2020s than it has been for a long time. So, if you feel you are unable to get anywhere near buying or renting a property any time soon, then it’s worth recognising that it isn’t your fault.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
