Anyway I got a headache now and need food, but thanks mate.

Just got fed up with people slagging of our pensioners...and that's even harder to take when you know it's left leaning people doing it. I just hope Keir improves stuff otherwise when the next election comes around, it's going to be a bloodbath lol.

No one is slagging off “our pensioners” you dozy nugget. This forum is mostly populated with old farts who are just hoping to live long enough to become pension themselves

100k? Fkn hell.

What I call a starter home up here, would be a 2 bed in not the best area. Probably needing updating. You’d get it for anywhere between 55k and 75k.

Theirs was a 3 bed and modern well decorated nice property. It's about the going rate around here coming down to about £80,00 for one that needs some work and then £60-£70,000 for 2 beds depending on the condition. Point is though 2 adults both eyeing can afford a nice enough property and it's a start, I hear too much about property prices from that generation but they are looking at 4 bed new build properties FFS, you can't have it all straight away.

Sounds roughly the same as up here for house prices then.

I get you. I’ve been talking with my oldest lately about this and I’ve offered to pay the deposit but she’s looking well beyond her means. She’s looking at houses which are worth more than mine ffs. It’s took me 15 years to get to where I am now with property and this is what she sees as her starting point. It’s an entitled attitude that she and many others around her age seem to have.

I can’t speak for London but 2 working people up here can afford a mortgage comfortably. One person on a decent wage (not brilliant) can afford it as long as they can find the deposit.

That’s what I’m saying though. It’s a decent house that. You could move straight in and not do a thing. 8k would get you your deposit and legal fees, you’d be left with a mortgage under 60k, probably £400 every month at the most.

Theres actually no excuses for people not doing it up here.

Mate no offence but just looking at that house and the street beside it, you could offer me 65k and I'd not move there<laugh>

Completely agree, there are nicely decorated empty properties that builders have done up, it's a start in life look after it and hope you can make a bit on it when you've saved a bit or have got a better job or wage rise you can move on.
