Lynsey Hanley visits 32-year-old Danielle who still lives with her mum Lydia in their Edwardian house in Tooting, south London, 11 years after graduating.

Every home has a story to tell about the UK's housing crisis. NHS worker Danielle wants to buy a home but has been priced out of her local area. It was very different for mum Lydia who moved here 30 years ago when property was still affordable. Lynsey explores why Danielle's experience is so different to her mum's - and she examines the effect that living at home for so long has had on Danielle's confidence and development.

House historian Melanie Backe-Hansen researches Crowborough Road's history and Professor Paul Cheshire of the London School of Economics puts Danielle's experiences in context.
