So instead of just inheriting a property, you’d inherit a property that may take another 15+ years to pay off/might not have that much equity if you decide to sell…that sucks

We’re fukked here in the UK. Somehow, this government‘s solution to tackling inflation and the CoL crisis is to encourage more borrowing by people that are getting progressively more cash poor. People with mortgages they can’t really afford is one of the main factors that caused the crash in ‘08 and it feels like these dikkheads are determined to expedite another crash.

The property value here in London is already unsustainably inflated due to unregulated foreign investment in properties that don’t even get occupied. You literally can live in a house worth £500k and have 2-3 food banks within a 20 minute drive from you :snoop:

why are salaries in uk so small as well :picard:

High earning industries (£60k+ salaries) don’t really operate outside of the major cities so a lot of the “Little Britain” towns have pretty much nothing going for them. Everyone is moving to main cities for opportunities and corporations have been taking advantage of that by suppressing salaries because demand is so high. Companies also aren’t adjusting their salaries for inflation so everyone is getting poorer each year.

Real wages have been falling for longest period for at least 50 years, ONS says

This article is from 2014 and its gotten worse since then :francis:

The only reason I came in here was because I read the title 6 times thinking to myself what does a member of the Kids Nextdoor have to do with mortgages they live in treehouses :dahell:

But yeah this is fukked up. The world needs higher wages for everyone. The ones in power still want slavery to be round they just slowly making their way back to it.

The interest on a 50 year mortgage is insane.

Someone broke down the math on Reddit. It was like 4-5 time the Interest of a 30 year

The first decade is no equity at all
That is literally a financial trap. These stories make you want to buy as much property as you can before shyt officially hits the fan.
