It's really not realistic for them to own given their job roles. I get what you're saying, but it just isn't like that in London. They have tackled the mortgage thing with Chelsea and Whitney and thry both have to work alternative shifts to manage it!Bromley by bow (where it’s supposed to be on the tube map) isn’t nearly that expensive for a studio, but there are also many shared ownership schemes, I just feel that real issues affecting people ( housing is a huge one today) would be interesting to see. It is supposed to be real life after all.
I disagree, and I’m a Londoner. Yeah, you might have to work alternative shifts and make loads of sacrifices, that sadly is the reality of what you have to do to in order save to get a deposit and then a mortgage. However it is doable with a young couple/ two friends, I know - I’ve done it.It's really not realistic for them to own given their job roles.

I am too and live on my own and my mortgage isn't small. Anyway, I guess it just isn't that interesting for a drama.I disagree, and I’m a Londoner.

I just think it’s strange that’s it’s never even mentioned when permanent housing is one of the main problems people face today.
But Kim is another example of how no one can afford to buy. She lives rent free in Patrick's house. I agree. I reckon fans would complain bitterly if all of the barely working/in standard job residents started buying property. It really isn't common.It's unrealistic that most people in Walford could afford to live there as very few have professional or high paying jobs.
How is Kim making any money? Surely the Kimfluencer can't be paying for diddly sqat.
I know Harvey is distracted by Aaron's problems but surely he would be wary of marrying a woman who takes his credit card to spend thousands on a fancy wedding
I wasn’t suggesting all of them did it? Just maybe one person who wanted to get on the property ladder! It really isn’t that unrealistic.But Kim is another example of how no one can afford to buy.

Yes I know what you mean but renting in London is expensive. We have a few that aren't paying:But Kim is another example of how no one can afford to buy. She lives rent free in Patrick's house.

I'm baffled by that as wellHalfway must earn a decent wage in the police as well as Ben in the arches, why are they in a flat with 3 other adults and a newborn baby?
Halfway is a prob so £30k max. I don't know about Ben, he never seems to do anything but drink these days!I'm baffled by that as well
They could actually afford a flat
And who the hell would want to live with weirdo Stuart and the awful Vi, let alone a newborn

It's a soap people. Nobody gives a fuck about mundane life events, they want DRAMA! Watch a documentary if you want reality...It’s not realistic that nearly every person on a road has been raped though.
Exactly! I really don’t want to watch Whitney getting rejected for a mortgage or Ben and Callum flat hunting. We all do these things in our normal life every day who wants to watch thatIt's a soap people. Nobody gives a fuck about mundane life events, they want DRAMA!

Me, that’s why I mentioned it. Soap operas were supposed to reflect reality and certainly when you watch classic episodes that’s what they did, and people enjoyed them as they could relate to them. I guess modern audiences do want constant murders, rapes violence and implausible drama. It seems a shame though.Exactly!

I guess you can’t please everyone can you, but I don’t like rape storylines but I love a juicy affair or a serial killer (but they normally drag those out a la Grey so then I get annoyed) but I don’t want to spend my day working a mundane job, flat hunting or meeting a mortgage broker frantically saving and then watch someone else do the same. Just wouldn’t be interesting to me at all. There’s also no education in it as it’s something constantly spoken about and debated.Me, that’s why I mentioned it.
