Millenials are all hitting 30 and buying houses. Might not seem like it since the internet is filled with Londoners with no exit strategy complaining about house prices.
I really don’t understand how people afford houses in the south. It’s still just about affordable where I live in Yorkshire but it gets worse each year. Hopefully I should have a small 2 bed terraced house in the next few months, I’ve spent a few years living at my parents rent free which had helped a great deal but most aren’t able to do that into their late 20s.
I wonder how much people not being able to spend on social stuff helped.
Outside of London and parts of the South East, buying a house is easy. My deposit for my next house would probably buy two nice houses outright in most places of the country.
Buying a property outside of the south east and London is not that hard it takes a bit of graft and persistence is all
Everyone I know has bought a house by about 25-28 and I come from a very deprived background
It’s no way near as bad as Reddit makes out
Went to Newcastle on a business trip once, and it surprised me how nice it was. Looked up house pierced and was very shocked at how cheap compared to where I live in Cambridgeshire
Kind of tempted to move up north if could find a decent job!
Not surprised. I know loads of FTBers. I make this comment on every thread about house prices and often get the down votes because of it.
Because the pandemic pushed those buyers from 2020 to 2021.
