Interestingly, the data reveals that 81% of homeowners aged 18 to 24 have mortgages, which might be lower than expected given the financial challenges typically faced by younger adults. This could be due to parental support?

The 25 to 34 age group sees the highest percentage at 92%, reflecting the peak period of mortgage acquisition. As age increases, the percentage of homeowners with mortgages decreases, with 87% in the 35 to 44 group and 77% in the 45 to 54 group. This trend continues significantly in older age groups: 55 to 64-year-olds at 39%, and only 7% for those aged 65 and over. This sharp decline highlights the natural progression of mortgage repayment over a homeowner's life.
