How to own a home by the age of 25

They were on radio 4 as well and a young lady in Liverpool was saying that houses are too expensive. I nearly spat my tea out! Liverpool! You can get a nice house for £40k, that's just £4K for a 10% deposit. Snowflakes.

Here's an example! http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-42426981.html

You could happily rent that out to students too

I'm sorry but you can't get a house that a sane person would want to live in for less than £100k in Liverpool or surrounding areas. The house could be nice but you would never feel safe.

The given example is in Wavertree, not the worst place to be in.

Ceiling was also caving in and it was an auction property. God knows what it will sell for or what is wrong with it. Wavertree isn't particularly nice and that area is particularly unpleasant.

That looks like somethings been stapled onto the ceiling to cover it up?

Auction presumably implies it's a reposession too, which means £45k some way under the market rate.

That said, it looks livable, I was expecting a derelict shell.

I agree it's not that newsworthy. It's the sarcastically calling them heroes that seemed a bit off. Would they be heroes if they spent all the parents money instead of saving their own?

Oh so you do have a grasp of sarcasm? I'm sorry to have triggered your perspicacious sense of moral outrage with my crass and unthoughtful words about these wonderful people. Let me know when you decide to come out of your safe space precious snowflake.

I'm not sure what the point of your poorly worded last line is? Ok, I understand what you are alluding to, but as per previous discussions, what relevance does it have to me thinking a news story is boring? Aha but you had loads of debt. Take that, I win! You no doubt see my past as the gift that keeps on giving for you and your need to win the internet. One day you may surprise us all by coming up with a reasoned comeback to something.

You know the area well? I would give you 40k rather than live there.

I lived there for 2 years as a student, just off Smithdown road. Only got mugged the once but it was my own silly fault for walking home drunk at 2am. The house itself was fine. I know one of the neighbouring houses was burgled, but they'd left the back door unlocked.

There're quite a few houses going pretty cheaply there. Pretty much in a house identical to this -

£147k for a 4 bed.. insane!

Look, a £45k house is always going to need to be done up. But come on, it's the price of a house deposit in other places in the country.

It does appear to have a sturdy burglar alarm and two cctv cameras. But still goes to show what is available and certainly looks nice enough inside. That would be £300k near me.
