DH and I want to move to what will hopefully be our family home, in 2 years. Work commitments means we can't do it sooner but I'm stressing about how much house prices might rise in that time.
That got me thinking about how today's children will ever be able to buy a home.
I know it's a very British thing to aspire to home ownership but rightly or wrongly it is the norm.
Many of my friends and extended family have only been able to get on the property ladder with a significant hand out from the bank of mum and dad, but unless their circumstances drastically change, they are not going to be in a position to do the same for their children.
What do you think will happen about houses with the next generation?
