I presume you're talking about the south-east for a 1-bed flat to cost £100k?

In which case you'll find that avg twentysomething wages should be enough to save £25k over 2 or 3 years. Quicker if it's a couple.

Of course there's also bank of mum and dad in many cases.

In my area one bed flats are costing around £120k, two beds around £170k. I'm about as far away from the south east as you can get :-) New build 'apartments', built in some of the most slummy areas were going for more than that.

£25k over 2-3 years is impossible - there is still rent, council tax, water, electricity, presents, clothes for work and cars to run in that time too. What is the average wage for a young 20-something?

Maybe if you, re-trained and got yourself a decent job, you will have the money be put down as a depoist for a house - otherwise, happy renting my friend.

I got my house in 2000 way before this crazy boom started.I own it outright and do not slave for the banks.Also,I do not look down upon people who rent.There is nothing wrong with renting and nothing to be ashamed about.

Out of interest in my area you can get a 1 bed flat for just over £50K and the most expensive is £120K

Pehraps the area is not great for the cheap one but the average full time male wage is over £30K for the area.

Well that would be you and most of the forum and the world (is not wanting people to default to want to buy a house greed? Or any modern lifestyle?)

Can't say I wish you all dead.

Again why make out bulls are nasty yet thank the same behaviour. That is hypocritical.

I think it is fairly pointless defending the indefensible, you tried to make some one out as nasty but yet you support people being nasty.
