I earn £50k, DP earns £45k. We have savings of £26k.
We live in a two bed flat and have two DCs (our DD and DSD) so need to move to a three bed place.
Can we afford anywhere remotely close to the area we need to live in? Can we bollocks.
Every house sale goes to a bidding war with people paying up to £70k over the asking price.
House prices in our area are going up by about £5k a week.
It's insane. I feel like we're going to be stuck in this flat forever.
Who the hell can afford to buy houses these days? Seriously, who are these people that an afford £600k for a three bed in East London? What do they do??
