I'm not sure what the current value of my house is, I doubt it's gone up £15k in the last year mind!

If it has, then I bet the next house I want to buy has gone up £25k, because I'm dead lucky like that!

Exactly what I was thinking mate...

It's all very well being on the property ladder but it's not good new for those near the bottom of it if the rungs keep getting further apart.

I thought I had very little chance of getting my own place, now I have realised that I have no hope whatsoever! :o(

That is what most people fail to realise. It is all good and well if the property value increases; however, if one wishes to move then the property they would more too. Unless one downgrades, but would want to do that unless they are retiring?

If a 160k property increases by £15k, it means a £200k property would increase by more then £15k.

Perhaps you should invest in a mobile home....

I live with parents (who don't exactly live in this country) and i do hope to buy my own place soon after i finish uni. Even if it is just to rent out. - It's not looking very likely at the moment though. My parents bought their first house back in 1995 for 11k - See the bloody divide!!

I may have to buy a place in Bulgaria or some other crap european country :o(
