Anyplace worth living isn’t a place worth buying a home for 95% of us.
It`s actually impossible if you are not Russian oligarch or a drug dealer !
Help to Buy is a government scam, it favours developers over first time buyers. I used the HTB scheme for my first flat in zone 2/3 London and i ended up losing 50grand on it! The scheme takes advantage of first time buyers desperation by making over priced and poorly constructed new build flats affordable to first time buyers. When i came to sell i fortunately didn't have cladding issues like some have experienced but i was faced with an oversaturated market of one bed room flats in the area, making mine 10 a penny. It doesn't help to get you onto the ladder, and put me further into debt. Its a scheme designed basically to tick the governments housing quota, but the turn around on a one bed room is so short, most people have a family and outgrow the flat and so the flat never appreciated in price. Plus being the first buyer means you pay a premium for it. I'm trying to get this scheme withdrawn as i have personally been negatively affected by it and dont believe it to have been helpful in any way shape or form.
Yu can say the same thing about anywhere.
Wow the union thing was sad. Is it you Bernie?
Lol how about toronto and pretty much all of the gta
Amsterdam is facing a housing crisis too, average home of 70m2 starts at 650,000 euros and gets overbid by 10%. Imagine paying 700,000 for a 70m2 house. And the mortgage interest rate jumped from 1.2 to 2.5% in 1 month.
I’m 22. Born and raised in inner London. I have no intention of even buying a home in the UK. I’m definitely moving the U.S. by the end of the decade.
If you don’t like it then leave. You’re voting with your feet, vote for less regulation and if the public disagrees then move to where you’re treated better.
Lol the man said I’m thick I’m a laborer who says that
Its expensive to buy property anywhere in the south because rich people from London or who have property in, and work in, London, have second homes by the beach or in the Cotswold area, for example. Many people in Devon and Cornwall, especially, but elsewhere too, can't afford to even rent a room.
Its disgraceful. The rich get richer and we poor get poorer. The socio-economic divide is widening again
This is why I left london and brought a house in two years time. That guy has to leave london if he wants to afford a home or pay the £500000 price tag 🏷
It’s extremely sad that I’m being pushed out of the place I was raised in & have all my family in. I currently pay half of my earnings to have my 1 bed place. Before council tax etc. London is home & it’s sad I don’t see a future here because of this.
Canada has the same problem. Part of the reason is the dirty money that has been coming in and buying up property, driving up the price of a house.
What the government needs to do is get the ball rolling on the First Homes Scheme. Which gives first time buyers about 30% discount on their first house. This discount remains with the house for life, so whenever the house is sold, it will have the same discount on it, that it had when bought.
They then need to do the same with social housing, when council houses are sold to tenants at a discount usually around 30% also, that discount should remain with the house too. So whenever that said house is sold, it can be sold to someone at a more reasonable price. This will create a bigger pool of affordable housing.
The main drawbacks is it would slow the growth on house prices, and it may create a two tier housing system. Houses that are purely treated as a necessity, and for living in. While the other houses not under any restrictions would rocket in prices even more, and you can have the rich and the investors fight over them. Personally I think such a system would work
It started in 1979 when Thatcher allowed council homes and created a rentier class.
Better to head off to Margate!
The main reason why people find it difficult to afford homes is because most people are too reluctant and comfortable having one source of income and pay huge amount on tax
oh its a money pit
But leaving London for cheaper housing that causes a knock-on effect, we Devonians and Cornishmen are being pushed out of our homeland, it raises our house prices more than local jobs can provide.
Its a bloody invasion.
Because of greedy estate agents and property land lords and the uk governments allowing in rich foreign investors to buy up property which has a knock on effect,as their buying up all the available housing stock,just to make a profit and wash their dirty money.
move north. the people are friendly and money goes a lot further
Except your the queen then you will never be able to buy a home as a young person. Am 25 with 2 kids and I live in a flat. You'll think by that age I should be able to have my own house by now? Not in the wildest dream because for me as a parent with 2 kids, I will need around 100k a month for salary and what sort of job will pay you upto that amount as a young person?? Exactly none. Its discouraging for young people. Trust you'll save and save and save and house prices going up, you'll end up giving up.
So to sum it all up Margaret f**ked all of us over 😭
