Why Are Uk Houses So Expensive?

[Jack8991]

So I’m a teacher earning around £30,000 a year, 23 years old living at home with parents. My grandma was saying that when she dies (which hopefully isn’t for a very long time), I could buy her house, which is a semi detached estimated between £190-200K. I’ve been told by a family friend who is in banking that on my salary I’d be leant roughly £90-100K for property, so I always tell my gran there’s no way I could afford it as I’d have to put a deposit down of about £90-100K just to be loaned the rest. Even a lot of terraced houses are out of my price range. I just find it frustrating that I’ve worked hard since being at school to go on to get a degree and a career to not even be able to afford my own home. I know there’s renting but I don’t want to be paying out for a house I’ll never own until I die. Thanks

I vowed to keep away, much as you pointedly asked me too once before - but ,aren't you a little old to be listening to the self styled guru Darius?

Get out,live life and meet people along the way and like many of us, one day you may click with someone.

I really do wish you well.

But aren’t you ‘labelling ‘ people ? Pigeon holing them with names like Tyrone be a good looking black man, Chad a good looking white mane ???
Saying a single mother is wanting a beta male to look after her and her children?
Sorry but your ideals are shallow and disrespectful to the ones you are labelling in that manisphere you live in

Guys the women are literally admitting it in these videos, they are getting on camera and telling what they want. Like the girl does in that particular video

[Jack8991]

In answer to Peter, so just because I’m 23 and a teacher that means I can’t be a virgin?

damn damn damn - - got there before me
damn damn
I got there last night ( hem hem - Jack was a troll) but didnt post because Andy H gets so upset when I make totally natural typos

And mis-type Andy ( ha!) as stinker - or Naomi as .....
or TTT as mad-boy

and the (*) see last night- blank but.....
would have been a ref to Klute, auditioning for St Joan -" Jark jark do you hear da bells jark " Zuzu Fonda doing a cod oirish arxent as St Joan

Director says - interesting accent

and it is all make-believe

People wind up people coz it is fun.... learnt this 75 y ago

[Jack8991]

Mamalynne- and the reason for that is social media where hundreds of men are idol worshipping them. Women decades ago didn’t have any of that

[Peter Pedant]

// Jack not being nosey but if your grandma has her own house surely she has paid for it, so why doesn’t she leave it to you in her Will? //

because - - - Jark is a manosphere troll

otherwise you are right - it doesnt make sense. ( kloo)

[Peter Pedant]

deffo troll

[THECORBYLOON]

How is this relevant to house prices?

[Peter Pedant]

and so having been identified.... what will jark do?

[Jack8991]

The Corby loon- because I was saying it’d be easier to do with a girlfriend and then we got onto the difficulties of finding one these days

[Peter Pedant]

it is not corbo - oops corbyloon ( I must say Andy, I must not write Andy )
we have an ongoing troll situation here

[THECORBYLOON]

No relevance at all then?

[piggynose]

Is this the longest thread for a troll?

[Jack8991]

Peter- tbh I don’t know why you think I’m a troll. It’s just that I have an opinion and these others have an opinion and we’re debating about it. Simple as that

[Peter Pedant]

// and then we got onto the difficulties of finding one these days//
incel! incel !

[Jack8991]

Thecorbyloon- not directly relevant to houses no

[Jack8991]

Peter- an uncle is involuntary celibate, every virgin is one so well done for pointing out the obvious
