Generation rent

Who’d live in town now? It’s a pigsty.

I had a few friends living around the Northern Quarter or Princess Street. The flats were shoeboxes without much natural light.

You could’ve got so much more for your money in Failsworth and been part of a community too.

Agree I’d not want to be in central Manchester (or north Manchester too for that matter) but a lot of younger folk do.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

I expect to buy in Cardiff but I look everywhere and there’s flats in Blackley or Middleton for £70,000. Can’t people raise that on a £20K p/a salary? Two of you earning that and you’ve got more to play with.

Learn to cook. Fuck Sky off. Don’t use taxis.

Tell that to the yoof of today, it'd be a virus in the morning....

He was in there for 28 years, what do you expect?

Well, at least the rubber suit he was wearing could stretch

I’ve always taken lodgers in when I’m able to as I know how difficult it is to find a home. Everybody I know in communal shares has had problems from food or post theft through to antisocial behaviour. Heard some awful stories. Landlords don’t appear to give a shit either. They just want their rent.

When I sell my London place, I’ll cash buy elsewhere and rent a room out for little more than company if I’m still on my own. It’s £365,000 for a two bed terrace in London. Can you Adam and Eve that?

Maybe in some of the outer boroughs - Havering, Redbridge, Croydon perhaps. But you could probably double that in Islington, Hackney, Camden.

2 bed terrace in Brighton is up around £400k, and more in some areas.

Only round the belly. More's the pity.

Newham prices. I’m finding places in Wales for £50,000 but there’s clearly going to be no work.

Let’s graft all week, pay £1000 of our salary to a landlord, to pay their mortgage for them.

The definition of lunacy.

Some don’t have any other choice.
