They still can't really afford one on £12k.


What can you raise on a 12K salary?

£35,000 - £40,000?

You can still get a terraced house for that oop narth, can't you?


I looked through an estate agent's window not far north of Nottingham
(sometimes considered oop north by a lot of people from as nearby as
Leicester :P) and you can't. Round here the council can't give council
houses away, and you can probably buy them for around that money after
having rented them for a while. That said, council houses can be in an
absolutely horrific state when you get them and need a lot of work to get
sorted.
