I think it is also important to consider it is not that practical nowadays to expect as a young 20 something person to buy a house - get on the property ladder with a small flat, and work up... it's what I've done.
Depends where you are in the country. Everyone acknowledges that (pretty much with everything) you tend to start small and build up. A one bed flat in Harlow on the 9th floor of a block will cost you £130K. £32.5K deposit required.... Compare that to my home town - Hawick in the Scottish borders - and £130K will get you a 3 bed house.

Not easy even getting started is all I'm saying.
