If I lived in central London, with a good clean credit history and a stable job, but with a poxy salary £10.70 per hour - minimum 37 hours per week, sometimes up to 41 hours... etc. etc. working in central government
I am guessing any bank would laugh in my face. Plus I could never afford anything in London, where I wouldn't get stabbed instantly.
So, do I have a hope in hell? Should I just carry on renting.... forever?
