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

[CretinWatcher]

not sure you can compare a bunch that believe women are inferior, non believers are sub human and the words of a sky fairy are gospel are the mirror of the far right. That honour belongs to the left & the church.

The extreme right believe that a woman's place is in the home, that people of X (substitute whatever race) are sub human and the words of Y (substitute their godlike Fuhrer here) are gospel.

Mirror image.

Since my income and wealth are mostly in a strong currency, a weak pound will make my retirement that much more comfortable.

Bugger, does that mean you plan on returning?

More than half a million EU nationals will be forced to leave Britain after Brexit,*think tank warns

Making the generous assumption of 5 people to one home. That's at least 100,000 homes to add to our housing stock, fingers crossed.

Although in retaliation the EU might deport Scooter.

Mainly it is because the yoof of today simply will not commit to anything.

So they rent on the assumption that in three years time they will be on the hippy trail, head full of zombie.

Yet sadly they are still struggling to make middle management in insurance.

If they had made the decision three years ago to buy instead of rent they would be fine.

It does seem to be the case, that things are different.

Boomers have shafted the young, and don't intend to share any of the pie.

The greed of one generation screws it for everybody else.

Extremely selfish, but there you go.

Get a job, stop playing at life and commit to something.

When you first get a mortgage life will be tough and money tight.

But you know you are buying a house not paying for someone else's

You seem to be ignoring the fact not everyone earns enough to get a mortgage and I'm talking about people on combined salaries for whom money is tight already.

Well, at least my home ownership problem is solved - bring on unreasonable house price increases, especially for luxury flats in Bham

Maybe if they spent a bit less time taking "gap years", upgrading their tablets, getting tattoos, and chasing pokemon then they might be able to rustle up a deposit that bit quicker?
