I moved here years ago and was having doubts if it's the right time to buy at these insane property prices. A coworker said "I know some people who've been holding out for fair housing prices since 1949, they are still waiting".
Anyone remember Fair Rent tribunals in the UK? Abolished by the Conservatives in the late 80s along with higher education grants. The 70s and early 80s were a golden age for more than just music.
Not sure about minimum wage. But certainly for regular blue collar labour it was. And I don't see why it should not have been.
Yes, depending on where you buy. Many homes are much cheaper outside of major cities.
That’d have to be a £60k house.
They do exist. If you can work remotely or don't mind the commute to Cardiff - welcome to Merthyr!
