No doubt about that; a decent house in London is around £200,000 which means a mortgage for a newbie would cost around £800 per month yet you should see the low level of wages paid in a good number of jobs. Hardly suprising people here live on 'plastic'.I've heard that housing prices have gone made there. Just to pay off a home can take more than a life-time for a double-income household.
