There is no other answer

You can buy a 1 bed flat 1 mile from me for 70k so you would be mortgage free here. And this is a nice place to live

You can buy a brand new two-bed near me for £100k

This backs up what I believe - there isn't a shortage of homes in the UK - there is a shortage of homes in "middle class" areas in pristine condition.

I was born in the 60s and both the houses we bought were renovation projects/"the worst houses in the best streets". My parents born in the 30s also bought a renovation project - so this is nothing new.

We are in our 60s and bought a do-er upper bungalow last year, the only way we could afford a bungalow in the area we wanted.


The house we have just sold which we bought forty years ago was also a do-er upper.


Coat and cloth spring to mind.
