Property prices around the country are amazing aren't they. In Blackburn that house would be £100,000 absolute tops and £400,000 would get you a large 5 bed detached or a farm house with land etc etc.
I dunno how young people just starting out are supposed to buy houses these days, earning say £15k and really crappy terraced houses costing nearly £100k ! My first house was a 3 bed semi and I paid £30k for it and I was earning about £15k at the time. I paid about half of it cash and my mortgage was next to nothing. Those houses are selling for over £130k now so how is someone on £15k supposed to afford that !
Its near impossible for young people to get a house at the moment. Myself & all my friends still live at home. I am looking for a house at the moment but im not in a hurry to be spending money on a house when I could be spending it on the Z
When I do eventually find a house to buy Ill probably rent it out & continue living at home for free
