More details
People who live in expensive cities like London, Cambridge, Oxford etc also deserve to be a home owner like other cities residents of UK. A person with £30k salary can never buy a house or a flat with- Annual Salary X 4.5 times Motgage. Please increase the salary multiplication to 6/7 times for the first time buyers of expensive cities and help us to become ‘Generation buy’ from ‘Generation Rent’. If we can afford to pay rent every month, we can also afford to pay the Motgage monthly instalments.
