DIY is a disappearing skill these days.
The snowflake generation doesn't want to get it's hands
dirty.

I think you'll find the snowflake gen arenlt really allowed
to.

Thats bull****.

I was refering to the UK mostly London properties.

Still bull**** there on the mostly.

Then show me those that you claim are affordable

Didnt say anything about affordable.

well who's going to buy things that aren't affordable ?

Those who have enough of a clue to realise that it
makes no sense to be pumping rent into a landlord's
pocket if its possible to buy a place instead.

But it's not possible for the majority or they'd do it.

Sure but it doesnt have to be the majority
to still have plenty that can be DIYed.

Depending on what you mean by plenty.
What do you mean by plenty

Those that are assisted by their parents to buy
the place, landlords who choose to diy instead
of paying someone to do the work etc etc etc.

can you show at least 3 properties in London that
a typical graduate on their first job can afford to buy
a do up as a DIY project while working full time.

Yep, those who are helped by their parents to buy the place.

The majority of school leavers or college grads
buying their first property don't have £50k plus
spare to put even a 10% depsoit down on a 1 bed flat.

See above.

Try finding a place in London then, go on prove it.

Not possible when you lot dont have lists of
what actually sold and how that was financed.

Why do you need a list use the estate agent sites.

Thats what they are offering, not what actually happens with the sale

And it has nothing to do with you how such things are financed.

It does determine whether it can be diyed when
it isnt financed by part ownership by the financier
unless that is by the parents or a relative.

Just because the for sale ad says that part
ownership is possible, doesnt mean that
it actually sold that way, particularly with
the ones that had help from their parents.

Yes it does the part ownership means the other
part is owned by a company that charges you
rent, even though you part own the property.

But they arent all sold like that, most obviously with
those who are helped by their parent or relative.
