From time to time, discussions appear on here about buying property in London.
Often people will say they have a budget of, say, 800K.
I'm just curious as to how people can afford such an expensive property!
If the median UK salary is around 28K, two people earning this borrowing 3.5 time joint salary could get a mortgage for only 196K!
I appreciate London salaries are higher and people probably have some equity in their existing homes, but I still don't see how people can afford so much!!
