"Dinky's" can afford mortgages BUT then they cannot afford the "rugrats" part if the dream. He government is doing its best to up the numbers and so reduce the charges of child minders.
Socially we will not know for 30 years whether nursery raised single kids, realise their potential as well an ones with a parent and siblings on hand - time will tell.0 -
5-6X salary is bs l'm a ftb and the most they would go on me is 4 x my salary even so that said they want a min 851.00 per month if l go over 31 yrs or 940.00 a month over 25 yrs, house prices have to fall, but its the sellers dictating to the estate agents what they want, they are being unrealistic for whatever reason, l for one will only offer what l consider a house to be worth, ie l viewed a house the other day priced 190k and offered 170k max and the estate agent siad they wouldnt even consider putting that offer forward !!!!!!
oh well l just keep saving and looking and when it does come down l'll be in a better position lol0 -

Is there a Lady-Hamish to confirm that opinion ?
[Not to mention a grandmother-in-waiting-Hamish?]
In London & the Home Counties a phenomena of the two child family with the kids 5 years apart has been observed - the crippling mortgage, coupled with the crippling child care costs means that the second child has to wait for the first borne to be getting tax payer funded child care.0 -
