Somewhere to Live.

There are many different types of housing in Great Britain, ranging from the traditional thatched country cottage to flats in the centre of towns.

Houses are often described by the period in which they were built (for example, Georgian, Victorian, 1930s, or post-war) and whether they are terraced, semi-detached or detached.

As well as preferring houses to flats, for many people a garden is also an important consideration. Although Britain is relatively small the areas where people live vary considerably: there are new towns and inner cities, suburbs, commuter belts and the open countryside.

Paying for the home you live in is the biggest single item in the budget of most families.

Nearly 70 per cent of people in Britain live in their own homes, about one fifth live in property-rented from local councils or registered landlords and ten per cent live in privately rented accommodation.

Buying a house is a large financial investment for many people and the majority buys their homes with a mortgage loan from a building society or a bank.

First-time house buyers on an average salary may have to borrow 90 or even 100 per cent of the value of the property they want to buy. It is possible for people to borrow up to three times their annual income or sometimes even more. The loan is repaid in monthly instalments over a period of twenty years or more.

Some people rent or buy accommodation through housing associations, which provide a financial alternative to the mortgage system.

As prices vary, the cost of a six-bedroom farmhouse in a remote part of Scotland is about the same as a small flat in an expensive area of west London.

People moving from the north to the south of Britain have to pay a lot more for the same type of house.

The average family moves once every seven years and the process of moving involves an estate agent (responsible for advertising houses for sale), a building society, bank or insurance company for the finance, and a solicitor to handle the legal aspects of the buying and selling. The size of the house or flat in Britain still tends to be measured by the number of bedrooms rather then the area in square metres. In keeping with a nation of homeowners, gardening and DIY are popular spare time activities.
