Mortgages need a revamp

The affordability gap is getting worse

House prices have increased by over 227% since the ‘70s. Yet, wages have stagnated, the cost of living and renting is rising, and lender criteria is getting stricter. The average home in the UK now costs 10x income, pushing homeownership out of reach for the next generation.

Wealth gap between generations is growing

Millennials are the first generation in history to be worse off than their parents. Thanks to increasing house prices, inheritance and final salary pension schemes, Boomers have accumulated the vast majority of the UK’s wealth, while financial insecurity has hit the younger generation the hardest. With more than a quarter of first time buyers delaying important life events to own their own home first, homeownership means more than painting the walls your favourite colour.
