helenwood79 | Do you think UK property prices are unreasonable esp. for single people who want to buy property on their own? |
If you are earning minimum wage or just a bit more and want to live in an area where you feel safe, it's almost impossible to be able to afford property by yourself, don't you think?
Additional Details
I am certainly not afraid of having to modernise/renovate it myself. |

Unreasonable?!
More like CRIMINAL
We are denied a right to private housing because we are not rich?!!!
What the hell is going on?
I know the govt is not responsible but what it could do is introduce a government mortgage like the student loan, something that would give some people a chance and not be crippled by the interest from private mortgage companies
(as well as building those new towns they are on about)
They have this in Iceland and a few other states |

we need more council houses thats for sure. Rat Thatcher selling them off has caused the rise in private housing costs. |

Hi,
You can find somewhere, you just have to compermise. I have just bought a bedsit in a naff area but I know that the money this will go up by in the next two years would be much more then I would save while renting and then I can hopefully buy somewhere nicer. It is hard work but unfortunatly as we live in a very densly populated country, you will be paying a lot of money for not very much. |

yes, I feel so sorry for you youngsters starting out - just don't know what the solution is - have you thought about shared ownership - may be a start for you |

It's bloody ridiculous!House prices have increased so much it's impossible for anybody to buy their own home!My partner and I have been trying to get our own home but we just can't do it!House prices round here are at least £200,000 for a 2 bed house!There's no way we can afford that! |

Definately, something needs to be done. Gordon Brown has now put housing at the top of the agenda, so lets hope that we will see some change in the next few years. |

Tell you what I just cannot work out, is what the definition of 'affordable housing' is meant to be. for example, often these shared equity schemes work out very expensive because as well as a mortgage for the bit that you're buying, you also pay rent on the rest and service charge to the landlords (because a flat will be leasehold mostly). A friend of mine was looking a property and the monthly payment was going to be about 800 quid. Well I cant afford that, and I think im on a good income, so for someone on a low income, what option is that??
However, I also think that people need to be looking further afield to buy property, instead of looking at London and the south east all the time, then you can get much more for your money and end up with a nice little place. I think people arent happy to start off small or with work to do, when I first bought my flat it needed most things doing to it and now Ive got an investment that I could afford at the time. |

I think that prices in the Home Counties are particularly ridiculous, but I guess that's because so many people want to be near London.
Bristol was a reasonably priced place to live - till the M4 was built.
We live in a Town in Worcestershire where you can still buy a modern detached house for around £170,000. Ours is 4-bed det. C.H. solar panels for hot water, balcony off bedroom, laundry, huge living room, good area and we might get £200,000. Compare that with the South East! |

I agree, it is complete madness the prices of property now, especially where I live in Greater London. My boyfriend & I would love to be able to buy somewhere, esp as we have a baby on the way, but we are so priced out of the market despite earning decent wages. Instead we are having to spend a fortune renting somewhere - the money could easily be paying for our own mortgage!
Our only options are to look into the shared ownership - which I believe is quite competitive, or to move somewhere cheaper - where we risk our wages lowering. Either way its a struggle!! |
|
Where's that pesky fraggle?
 |
YES!
Even if you are not earning a minmum wage, in London it is impossible, an unobtainable dream.
I am also a keyworker, bet you've heard loads about affordable housing and help for keyworkers?? I looked at a flat (rabbit hutch proportions) in wandsworth, with mortgage, rent on the other share and bills, I was looking at £800pcm! Does that sound like affordable housing to you? Absurd. what are we supposed to do? |
