Most renters still want to buy argues lender

The lender says this desire is so great that nearly a quarter of the 2,134 respondents said they would consider a second job in order to manage the mortgage. About a third, 38% of those questioned believe they will be in a position to buy within the next two years. However, an even greater proportion, 42% expect prices to keep rising over the next two to three years. About one-in-six young people say they are thinking about acquiring a property together with friends in order to be able to afford that first step on the property ladder, Nationwide’s survey states.
