For which to get on you need an address to live at. For which to get one, you need a bank account (at least, but in 99.9% cases this alone is not enough), otherwise no agency is going to give rent you a house.

At what age do you become eligible for the electoral roll? At least in the states most people register to vote before they leave the house of their parents.

Can't find a quick answer on gov.uk, but I somewhat loosely recall that they let you register when you're 16.
