I've tried that and have had nothing in return. Preference goes to Public sector workers, that's the only answer I ever get. There was a nice 2 bed flat near me, up for £60,000 but someone beat me to the post and put in an offer which was accepted. 4 months later the agent rings me up and states "the council rejected him because he was earning too much".
What rule is there that suggests that Public sector workers are less likely to be able to afford to buy a property than I would [as a 24 year old, only recently out of university, with student debt left right and centre and on a starter wage??]
Or have I missed something?
