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.

Re: Housing Market
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.

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

Re: Housing Market
Could you please provide some evidence of these figures and some absolute numbers to allow proper comparison? Thank you.Thor wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2020 10:54 am 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.

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