Housing Market

Post by Thor »

A report issued today by the English Housing Survey shows that people between the ages of 25-34 who own their home has increased for the first time in ten years by 9.6% this past year with rentals showing the same percentage in a downward trend.

With income outstripping inflation, with house price stagnation and decline making property a bit more affordable. This is a good sign for people who want to own a property.

I still beleive that more should be done by way of social housing and support for people that need and require a place to live as a basic human right.

What other living creature has a right to a home? We are born, we plod around for a few years. We die. We don’t have a right to anything.

You voted Tory fella. That isn’t in their genes to consider something which would benefit the less off.

Some of us have marginally evolved from the things that emerged from the sea all those years ago.

Could you please provide some evidence of these figures and some absolute numbers to allow proper comparison? Thank you.

I'd suggest the most important aspect of that report is the levels of over crowding.

That's what separates us from the other animals (some of us anyway)
