it's not their fault house prices have shot up, cheapest ex-council house is nearly £100k near me now, to buy that if your on your own, you would need to be on nearly 30k a year.. but then everyone is in the same situation.. they could rent, still around £450-£600 a month near me, save for a deposit, sit and wait for the property boom to bust, but its been a long time coming, mainly due to the high demand for housing, because of the 100,000s of eastern europeans who have moved to the uk in the last few years..
£1200 a month after tax is what about £20k a year ? so you couldn't buy anything where i live on that wage.
