Anywhere that supports souf fc is priced out. £30k salary is pretty decent, mortgage lenders will only give you 4.5-5× your salary - that's 150k most. Bump that up to a £40k salary and it still only gets you £200k borrowing power. 5% deposits are becoming a thing, but even with the stupidly low rates everywhere you need 15% deposit to get anything below 3% for any length of time.

So conditions of entry are save up 25k for a deposit, and have a salary high enough that at 5x borrowing power you can reach £250k.

Or rent for the rest of your life paying 30% of your payslip every month to the boomers retired holding 4 BTL properties.

freehold: you own the house and the land (most old houses use this) indefinitely.

leasehold: you own a long-term lease on the property and land. Typically these last ~100 years. If a leasehold duration is getting low, it becomes difficult to sell the property (nobody wants to buy a house they only have rights to for 15 years...). You have the legal right to extend the leasehold when it's getting low, but this costs minimum £20k for a cheap place. Most flats and lots of new-build houses use this.

because the house price line wasn't going up fast enough during COVID, the govt. introduced a stamp duty holiday for properties up to £500k (usually £125k).

Basically a flat subsidy on property that only notionally benefits existing buyers (as first-time buyers are already exempt), at the cost of ~£4bn... in reality it just spiked demand, prices adjusted to account for lower taxes and the ultimate beneficiaries were sellers.

I am a moron so please correct but:

a leasehold is like renting long-term. They normally last 125 years or something, apparently you can extend them too. This is normally with apartments where an entity will hold the land/building aka freehold (thus you'd pay for communal areas).

There are flats that have a share of freehold, but there are a few houses that are leaseholds too. While leaseholds are mostly shit, they can be alright to get on the market. However you can't get a mortgage on a leasehold with 70 years or less remaining. Commonhold is a new thing that I think no one uses yet.

tl;dr - you probably want a freehold

Leaseholds are something that used to only exist for flats - you buy the flat, but technically you only buy a lease to the flat allowing you to use it. There is still another legal owner of the building that you pay to hold the lease. Houses are typically freehold - you buy the building and the land it stands on.

In boomer times of sunshine and plenty this was really not a bad system - the leases were generally a 999 year lease and the rent (ground rent) was called 'peppercorn' - basically a tiny nominal admin fee. They would also sort out maintenance of the overall building and shared areas (though typically a management company does this for them and you pay a service charge), so for flats it makes sense.

Nowadays leases are generally 100-150 year. A lender won't give you a mortgage for anything with less than 80 years left on the lease, and if you want to add more years you have to pay the owner of the building. Quite often the ground rent is something like £200 at the start, and has a doubling clause so it doubles every 5 years. Then the service charge is on top. Basically turns newbuild flats into even more of a money spinner, but you basically have to accept a freehold for a flat as it's the established system.

Then some bright spark realised that they could do this with new build houses too - sell a house, with a garden and drive, as a leasehold. The developer can then collect ground rent for eternity after already making a profit on the house itself. Generally sells them slightly cheaper (but only very slightly) to entice buyers.

It got so bad the law recently changed to make sure new build houses are now always freeholds, but it's just another case of something nominally functional being squeezed for profit until it's just another nail in the coffin of society

Mate of mine is inheriting £250k after his mother passed. His head is all over the place, as you can imagine, but he has this plan of moving to the South West and purchasing a house for around £1M and mortgaging the rest. First off i don't even think a bank would grant him that, but i'm no property expert, but even so my first suggestion to him was to just take time to clear his head. My second suggestion was why not purchase a house for £250k or less and not be in debt to the banks? Sounds like free security to me.

The law has only just changed, but the leasehold thing has been a money spinner for the past 20 years. It just took time to finally gain political traction as boomers started to retire and look at downsizing, then they realised all the new builds were leaseholds. The idea that boomers would be the ones getting fucked is unaccebtable to the politicians so finally something is being done about it.

There are a lot out there now. The ground rent doubling charge is becoming another big issue, as below a certain amount it counts as some subtype of leasehold with specific legal protection, above a certain threshold it becomes another subtype without that protection. So you could be a day late on ground rent and the owner is allowed to foreclose the lease and sieze the flat without contest. If the property falls under the second subtype this is is another condition that a mortgage lender will not give you a loan for, as it risks them not being legally able to foreclose the property to recoup if you can't pay. Even if when you initially take the mortgage the ground rent is low, if it reaches that threshold at any projected point over the expected term of the mortgage the mortgage lenders really don't like it.

With all the 21st century 'cool brittania' flats now hitting 10-20 years old, the original owners bought them for half the price they are now when the ground rent was £50-100. They now want to move out. New buyers now are looking at a higher sticker price, so longer mortgage term, and the ground rent will be a decade into the doubling clause. It is now guaranteed that at some point over the expected term of the mortgage the doubling ground rent will broach the threshold, so the mortgage lender is much more reticent about offering a buyer money. This makes the property toxic, so sometimes the seller will lower the asking price to entice buyers. So even if you think you've finally found an affordable place as a new buyer; you're buying a fucked leasehold

Over the past 10 years I've worked in 5 different towns/cities ranging from trendy to industrial, and as a single person in the south even buying a shit tip in a shithole is nearly impossible just working the numbers. If you take your age and multiply by 1000 that is basically a good representative salary for most people in their 20s.

I was always known as the IT kid at school. By 14-15 I had already built simple websites and graphics for a few local businesses and was starting to get a few people pass my name around. It was never very serious at the time, but at 15 when I left school, I was approached by a chap who was starting up a small business and needed some help with the IT sides of things. I knew him through friends of friends (he was 2-3 years my elder). When I turned 16 he employed me part-time, which grew into full-time. I worked with him until I was 17, then quit because I was fed up of making 20% of the intake but doing most of the actual work. I spent a year sorting out stuff to go solo, and then registered a LTD at 18. I've worked for myself since - I'm now 31 and fairly comfortable.

It takes an insane amount of work however. I've had periods of doing back to back 70+ hour weeks for months on end. The payout however, can be up to 1-2 grand a day in the best parts of the year. For me right now, the trade of no life and lots of work is worth having an early retirement being setup.

I still think anyone trying to get a lovely place in a great area as their first house best have some family money behind them. Accept a shithole for a few years, the price will generally only go up, sell it for profit and use it to move up to something better.

If you're in the south and unable to increase your income by any other means, I can only suggest living as tightly as you can, and try to bring that target from 30 down to say 25-26. I don't think someone getting a property in their mid-20s is a bad thing, even if it's a shithole. And getting a mortgage at 28-30 is also not exactly late.

Very strong by virtue of actually having a flat. If you don't mind my asking, where abouts roughly, and roughly how much was it?

I live in the North West of England, in a quiet village around Preston.
Flat was £68 grand, me and my ex went halves on a 7 grand deposit and split up about a month later haha. Still need to get the slags name taken off the deeds.

it is leasehold which is shit, basically 400 quid every six months with no real plus side. I'm not looking to stay here beyond five years, the flats now valued at 90 odd k so hopefully when I sell I'll be able to net a bit of profit for a deposit for a freehold house. That's the plan anyway.

buy a piece of land and build structures without foundations (A frame houses, log cabins) until youve lived there long enough to build structures with foundations
ideally do something on the land that helps you get planning permission quicker
although even that I don't know so much any more to be honest, looking at Montenegro, Macedonia, Slovakia and Portugal now as alternatives

Aside from the crypto don't be mate. My PhD was a good experience working on an interesting project and I got paid above the market rate for a postgrad student, but it's not helped getting jobs at all.

The revolution needs to happen. The Covid global recession and forthcoming inflation is your only chance for a catalyst to inflict the pain needed to play the ultimate crypto zoomer hand.

It's a nihilistic situation that is only going to get worse. It's designed to force you onto the Help to Buy scheme which will cause a lot of people to default once the interest starts to kick in after 5 years. The Conservative Government is very crafty with their schemes. You remember the 9k a year university fee increase? that's just a 30 year tax which helps boost the economy. Same with the Help to buy, it boosts the economy after 5 years when the interest payments kick in.

If you live in the south east, you need to work 9x harder than you currently are just to not fall behind. That's based on the average house price on the average salary.

3 years ago the house went up to £500k so took out my equity and bought the other half. Now own the whole thing and it's around £550k.
Before shared ownership we were looking at shitholes at £250k.
You can also use the HTB Isa with them and also miss out on stamp duty if it's your first home.

Bros, I've had a massive confidence knock recently. Currently on a graduate program working towards becoming a Chartered Engineer, but currently on low £20k and I was rejected for a promotion. 4 Fucking years experience and I have done all I can to learn and progress and I'm still on a shit wage.

I'm either much dumber than I think or I'm really unlucky but it's so disheartening to put in so much effort to my own development and not have it go anywhere.

I lived on a narrowboat when I was living in London. Was pretty lucky because it was actually my dad's and I just "took care" of it when he didn't want to use it for holidays. It was worth £20k and I paid all registration, insurance, and other costs for it. (about £2k a year)

There's a lot of headache and hassle with this approach, including having to keep moving around every two weeks, constant boat maintenance, constantly having to do chores like emptying the shitter, filling the water, keeping an eye on the diesel and battery levels, problems with security depending on where you are tied up etc, but I saved shedloads of cash on rent and it was a fun lifestyle in many ways.

Now I live in the baltics, paying bugger all in rent, and want to set up a small hobby farmstead. I can do it for about £50k initially which I can pay cash for.

Not the approach for everyone, but working for me.

As I pointed out my house that I bought for £450k is mortgaged for £1,800 a month.
If I was going to rent my house, it is rentable for £1,800 -£2,000 a month according to the local estate agent.
How is it then more expensive to own than rent? As I said the only downside to owning is you have to stump up a big deposit.

>> No.28972197

Tried to buy last year but having reviewed the lease it was a piece of shit. It hadn't undergone a statutory extension (despite being advertised as so), the rent hadn't reverted to peppercorn and there was what essentially constituted a break clause for redevelopment meaning that the period of guaranteed occupancy was greatly reduced.

Fucked it off and invested the £25k deposit. Currently at around £150k but totally cognizant that this is unrealised gains and means very little right now. £40k job with a company car that's a 'pool car' so no running costs. Early 30s though so no spring chicken.

I've never looked at prices around Manchester as I've left, and £800k does sound weirdly high. Didsbury is where all of the well off youngish people congregate so everything is real fucking expensive in that area. They push out people who are somewhat well off and young to Chorlton, and increasingly into where my family lives. You can tell because my highstreet went from being hardware shops and vape stores to being quirky bars within a year of me being away.

In this new era of home office, housing prices in big cities will crash. Just give it 10-15 years. You'll see how all those 1 million shoeboxes go to 10-20k because the majority of people don't have to live in the city to find a good job.

I really wish i knew how bad it'd be. My dad was severely ill since i was 5, and my mum a full time carer, we never had much, and i was never really taught about finances very well. but i went to a top tier school (top public in scotland), with a lot of very well off people who i was always jealous of, so getting that money i suddenly felt i could live like them. It's fucked me up so much more though and at this point, i just want to clear it all so i can start from scratch.

this guy knows whats up.
The English language lacks the words to describe the full scope of boomer failure.
worst generation of people in the last 500 years at least, and possibly ever when you take into account what they inherited and how little they will leave behind.
Talking to them only grows your disgust, as they tell you grand stories about how hard it was in their day
they are all soulless scum who should be denied a headstone

shouldn't necessarily cash out crypto to pay off the debt: if the rates make sense, leverage it to provide liquidity in def markets and liquidate the tokens farmed to make your payments. that way you keep skin in the game AND kill your debt. but this only makes sense if you can get a return higher than the APR on your current credit card debt (while also considering the tax implications, ofc).

I do have a job, but the vast majority of my wages go into repayments which don't move the debt by much once interest is applied
