I honestly dont know how you young people manage , house prices are just plain crazy I bought my first house in 1972 for £ 2,800 moved in 1975 paid £4,000 for that one and moved in 1982 and paid £19,000 for this one ,highest monthly mortgage £110 a month ( which was hard for the last five years on it, as I was only recieving £80 a week incapacity benefit and also had to find £1100full rates ) thankfully I had some savings so I managed , its mine now and worth about £180,000, but there is no way I could have got on the property market today with the wages I was recieving prior to finishing (£ 12,500annually.
