Home ownership in England at lowest level in 30 years as housing crisis grows

[SueEllen]

I am not commenting on whether it is a good idea or not what I am saying is that if you want to buy a house but cannot afford to in the area you are looking then you need to asses your priorities.

C'mon you must have watched episodes of Kirsty n Phil?

Kursty is the one who is telling her daughters to have children before they have sorted their careers out. Luckily for her children she can fit them in.

[WTFH]

Feck me, you're a simple-minded blockhead.

No. By saying that greed is bad, he's a Kard Karrying Korbynite Kommunist.

Having cash gives you greater peace of mind. Stress of a large mortgage that you can barely afford can't be a lot of fun, and neither can be being stuck with a house that you can't sell when you need to move because you lose your job. These are the sort of problems 25 year olds that have been told they absolutely must buy are stuck with.

If you can buy a house instead of paying "dead" money on rent your money goes towards an asset. Your presumption (left wing) that people are too stupid to take any responsibility for themselves simply reveals what an arrogant prick you are.

WHS, plus once you have a mortgage the payments stay the same over the years and the initial pain diminishes over time, whereas rent will keep rising year after year as much as the market will bear.

Daddy bought Krusty's first house.

As long as you have somewhere to live does it matter? It's the British obsession with home ownership: everybody repeating the mantra that you must buy a house or your life is ruined. There'd be less pressure pushing up prices if everybody would accept that renting is fine and that not everybody wants to or should own a home.

Renting sucks, deposits withheld, kicked out on a whim. No kids, no animals, etc.

The young are ****ed.

Still with the good news of Brexit, I'm sure many more opportunities will come your way.
