seriously? our next door neighbours' house has just gone up for sale, and it is absolutely gorgeous.. we'd love to buy it, and we could easily afford the mortgage on it, but how do young people these days come up with the £40k+ you need for deposit/legal fees/etc? even if me & the missus scrimped and saved every last penny - really stripped back and lived the most basic existence we could - we would still be lucky to save that kind of money in 10 years.. but, obviously, that's not really feasible because that would be a pretty miserable way to spend life!
this isn't a "grrr the state of the economy/housing market/" thread - it's a genuine question.. i don't ever see how i will ever afford a house in my lifetime, so i just don't get how people do it.. were you all lucky enough to have the foresight to setup a trust fund when you were little or something? ms. dirtybobby did that, but even her savings comes to a grand total of about £6k which would barely make a dent, and she's been saving all her life!
so how the hell does one do it? i've never seriously looked into it, so apologies if this is a daft question and there are some simple answers that i'm just not privy to lol..
