      Well not really. London isn't just one price all over is it. It depends on the part of London you can rent from 700 for a house share to 1300 for a house in some parts so that guys not really wrong is he. You don't even know what part he's talking about. Ur just making assumptions

      Housing went way up during covid. If you want to comfortably mortgage a house without having to worry about any financial problems later down the line you probably are looking at about 100-200k a year.

    Average detached in London is £1.3m, assuming a 10% deposit of £130k and a £1.17m mortgage, you'd need a household income of c.£300k.

  • @devonportm

    Assuming you’re not partaking in any of the help to buy schemes..
    Banks will lend you up to 4.5 x your annual income as a mortgage or 5 x collective salary if buying a house as a couple.
    You’ll typically need 10% deposit minimum.
    500k flat/house, 50k deposit (10%) 450k / 4.5 = 100k a year you’d need to earn on your own or 90k between two (90k x 5 = 450k)

      Didn't use to be the case. 1950/60/70's only one adult in the household needed to be out earning a wage in order that a house may be bought and a family started.
      Since women increasingly wanted to go out and work, Society has now colluded to ensure that two incomes are now necessary in order to get by.

    Easily done by excel reverse engineering: to buy a house for 500k, both of you need at least 83k for income together or 43k each, which is 2800 per month. And you two together will need to save up for 5 years for 25% down payments.
