With UK average house prices in the month of August at £179,486 and average income as  anything between £9,800 and £42,200 then the chance of owning property looks rather slim for a large portion of the population. But isn't this the way things have always been, so why should it change now?

Prehaps a better question to ask is are people expecting too much and chasing an unrealistic dream by wishing to own a house? After all renting is quite acceptable in other parts of the globe why not in the UK?
