No, I am sympathetic to young people who find it very difficult, or impossible, to buy a home.
FFS. Worra dick.

Really?
Counting ants, staring at smart meters, and continuing to eat at some sh!tty pub just because it's cheap (and still complaining about it)?
"Envious" is not the first thing that comes to mind........
Deary deary me, you don't half show your ignorance around all this with comments like that.
Depends where you live.
Average salary in Scotland ~£28k
The 3 bed I mentioned, £135k
4.8x average salary.
Yes more than 2.5 but not as high as 7.
I'm still waiting on someone telling me what kind of (fair to all) scheme should be brought into law to ensure property price increases are capped, and also the sales price.
I am 100% confident that everyone in this thread would not want to benefit from an increase in property value.
'Hello, is that Mr Noseall? It's the estate agent here. We now have the valuation on your property. You know, the property your parents bought in 1976 for £10k. It's been valued at £320k so we suggest putting it on the market for £310k with a view to achieving £300k. Is that ok with you?'
'Absolutely not!!! It's abhorrent and immoral how much the property has gone up in value. Please put it on the market for £150k and not a penny more my good lady!'
Yes, that's what you'd all do, isn't it

Are you saying 20% is not a standard down-payment these days?
Are you saying in the pre-2008 days, you couldn't get 105% mortgages?
Ignorant my arse.

If you are using the average salary at least use the average house price. At around £200k with £28k salary that is a ratio of over 7.
Yep price crash is deffo what's needed.I am 100% confident that everyone in this thread would not want to benefit from an increase in property value.

Replenish the social housing stock, for starters.
This has been posted umpteen times on here before, across any number of threads.
Just because you disagree with the answer , doesn't make it disappear.
I don't have to thanks.
The property I'm referring to, a perfectly nice 3 bed in a decent area is on at £135k.
The average salary in Scotland is £28k.
So that specific property for someone on an average salary can be had for 4.8x

Not me, I'd ensure there was more low cost council housing/housing association homes available. No one is claiming everyone should get a £200k house for free.Yes, that's what you'd all do, isn't it
