I don't think anyone is disputing that's it's easy enough to get on the housing ladder in a low-priced tulip-hole like Swindon. You managed it after all.

I'm selling up if you are interested in some gentrification duties...

True. But the house ended up being owned by his ex and he now rents....

if a young couple can save £200 each per month, they can save the deposit in 3 to 4 years without a penny from bank of mum and dad.

Easily done with a few sacrifices....

The average house price is 233,000 and an average deposit is around 5-10% i.e. between 12- and 23,000.

Only due to interest rates being so low. Getting a deposit is almost impossible. You need rich parents. It fuels inequality and stops social mobility.

That's true but affordability hasn't changed much over the years.

Which is below the rate of inflation is it not?

If you have an asset that isn't keeping up with inflation is that an increase or decrease in your wealth?

Real terms decrease in value. All part of the dead-cat Bozo bounce.

It's not all doom and gloom.

Foodbanks booming

Maybe it's fun and more convenient than soup kitchens for the lazy?

[DimPrawn]

It’a much easier to turn £ 1 mln into £ 1000

You are correct, I did this with a divorce. Was a piece of piss.

HTH BIDI

Maybe we should hold a referendum about it....

[BlasterBates]

Irrelevant if you can't afford to buy a house anyway

That's true but affordability hasn't changed much over the years.
