Under 45? Oh dear!

A nice non Barratt Hutch for £250k in the SW would be nice, 4 bed, decent garden. Quite road, no riff raff. Trouble is you need to double that figure for something like that.

Here's an example (off a busy main road [emoji26]):

4 bedroom house for sale in Westbury Road, WARMINSTER, BA12, BA12

Work harder, to the point where £500k is pocket money.

Sorry, should have clarified. Somewhere where someone with a half-reasonable job would live. The 90k houses in Manchester aren't in great areas at all.

Yes but you can still buy one - and when you say not great areas do you actually just mean not leafy suburbia where mummy and daddy live?


If you become a bit of a high flyer when you are young and earn say 40k instead of 20k you maybe can get a better house...

guess what that is exactly the same as it was for my generation

and the generation before me.

what it seems to me is that many things for purple gorilla and generation wank are obtainable but the poor dears want more because they have been told they deserve it and it is everyone else's fault they cannot have it

You made the wrong choice then. No money in it

It's been good so far. But even then prices are bonkers.

I'm sorry, this is a bull tulip argument. The get a better job or move to a tulip area are crap.

It's all about LUCK and nothing else. Luck as to what year you were born. Luck as to if BOMAD gives you a deposit.

Sorry how does a £50k permie job in Leeds help buy a £500k house in Warminster.

I don't know anyone in Leeds either. I'm not sure I would like the cleanliness...
