I don't think you have to move out at all... but I'm assuming it'd be good to leave at 18

Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.

You can move out at 16, but not live on you're own.
You can get a job at 16, but it wont be proper or anything.

16 to get a job.
16 to move out, although you have to move in with someone who's over 18. If you're planning to move out at 16, get your parents to pretend that you're estranged from them (they kicked you out). If they'll do that for you, you can claim extra benefits.

You can legally move out at the age of 16. However at 16 you may not be able to find somewhere to rent and you will not be able to buy property.

The following two links may help you on this issue.

http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/index/family_parent/housing/young_people_and_housing.htm

https://www.askthe.police.uk/content/Q555.htm

As for getting a job this link may be helpful.

At 16 you can get a full time job, but you will not get any minimum wage (the lower limit does not apply until 18 and the upper limit 21/22) and a lot of places tend not to employ under-18s.

You don't HAVE to.
But you can get a job and move out as soon as you're 16.

I have never heard of that rule, or can I seem to find it anywhere on the internet...
