That’s such a good point! I think that probably shows that they don’t even want to or are ready to move out of London because they can easily have the bigger house with the garden outside of London from this year if they want to. They just need to rent!We own a house now (but we are 36|), but when I was renting up until two years ago were paying £1100 rent for a four bedroomed detached house with a separate office, with the biggest garden on the estate and a double garage and driveway for upto five cars on a private road,(we didnt have five cars I just mean the driveway was that big) I bet they pay at least that to rent that two bedroomed cramped flat with a balcony. where we have moved to, alot of people have moved from London as there is a direct train to London that isn't too expensive. Our mortgage is alot less than that rent was because we were realistic.
I'm actually surprised he doesn't want a bigger house to show off, he can always move back to London later if he really wants to. or he can spend weekends in London once a month or something because he would be able to afford to have weekends away if he had a reasonable and realistic priced property.
My point being that they could rent a much smaller house outside of London and save alot more money towards a deposit and either live a similar lifestyle to now, or even a better one with lots of country walks etc. alot of new content.
They are two kids that decided to add to their lives some serious life decisions that frankly they are not ready to make.
