You want to stay in Leeds, even cheaper

9 bedroom house to rent in Kensington Terrace, LS6 1BE, LS6

I'd rather walk round Peckham with a nail in my shoe than live in Leeds.

Why do you keep posting rentals up?

As for the job?

Erm, no.

So your saying an HGV driver couldn't afford this house ?

2 bedroom terraced house for sale in Ascot Terrace, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS9

yeah, yeah it's not a 5 bedroomed house in Kensington, and how will I afford my carribean holiday.

You're putting them in a two bed terrace. How very kind of you. That'll suit his 2 teenage kids.

I'm saying that a two bed terrace isn't an average house - it's a starter home. It was my first house purchase; I bought one for £37k in 97 and they're now on the market for almost three times that on the same street. I would suspect that the job that I had back then isn't paying treble what it was though.

Sadly I can't get in my tardis and buy a cheap house in the 1990's for peanuts because I am not a timelord.

Nor can I subsequently brag about how financially savvy I am because I happened to be in a fortunate circumstance where I could buy a house for a pittance.

So if your rich ass boomer world cracks just a little, because of brexit. Fan bloody tastic.

When I bought my first house in Sheffield in 1988 it was 30 grand, my salary was 9 grand, the same house is now 120 grand (I checked), the same job woud pay around 30-40 k.

Now interest rates are much lower than they were in 1988.

Now if you look at real house prices (adjusted for inflation)

in 1988 they were 138 grand
now they're 205 grand.

Yes house prices are more expensive but the're not 3 times in real terms. There are desirable hot spots but you can easily find something much cheaper nearby.

Thanks for the anecdote.

I wasn't talking about buying in the '80's but buying in the '90's.

You've compared one peak to another.

It was Gravy 20 years ago. Gravy.

Better rates, less Tax/IR35 nonsense, cheap houses, loads of legit business expenses.

Gravy.

DD, the beer that made Fosters seem deeply pleasurable by comparison.

Yes but the 1990's was an anomaly.

Another anecdote....My dad was a Doctor, even qualified from a London Hospital, up until he was 29 he lived in a room in the hospital, then got married and spent the next 6 or 7 years living in sh*t holes without central heating, In his late 30's finally managed to put a deposit on a house.

Your view of the past is based on fantasies.
