Move on and do something else. You have no god given right to be able to affford or buy a house... I would like a ferrrai but I can't afford one!
The government seems to disagree with you, and wants 80% of the population to be in homeownership by such and such a date.
So you know what that means...yep, you homeowners having to subsidise us FTBers. Mwaahahahaha.
Oh and it'll be "tough" for anyone stuck on the property ladder if no FTBers can afford to get on it. Ladder? More like a slide.
But thanks for your sympathy and constructive criticism.0 -
I thought the government's moves to get us to save for our pensions via buy-to-let (so many government ministers & their partners have numerous properties these days) was going to decrease individual home ownership.
The 80% figure was surely just an election statement - not a serious target.0 -
The government is plugging shared ownership - not full ownership.0
