Affordable houses are a scam as well. Most people think it means, a house, that is affordable.

Instead it’s usually a shared ownership thing so it’s still stupidly priced but you can buy 25% of it.

New development near us the affordable houses were 25% of a 2 bed semi for £100k.

Then you get to pay £800/month rent on the other 75% while being 100% responsible for all the costs and maintenance.
