part of one building,
loud neighbours can interrupt you,
less space,
common boiler with neighbours,
housing estate is dangerous place,
many people move in your block of flats and they coul be thieves,
have to search for a parking place,
cheaper,
more gossips,
heavy traffic,
badly-kept nature

House:
can have a garden,
peaceful and quiet atmosphere,
more space,
better for having a dog – don´t have to be locked in a flat when you´re not at home,
aren´t interrupted by anyone,
have your own garage,
have more privacy,
can sit in your veranda and admire the view,
can grow up vegetables,
have your own entrance,
more expensive

Rented flat x living with parents

should work out all the financial details to avoid misunderstandings,
have to share with many things like kitchen or television,
don´t know all the tenant´s mean streaks

feel independent

Living with parents:
feel dependent,
don´t have to pay for a rent, water rates, service charges, Council Tax or TV licence,
don´t have to cook on your own,

can study in a quiet place of your home,
can enjoy yourself sunning on the patio,
spend a lot of tome with parents,
parents can care about your business
