Hi Christof. This question will open up a host different answers . First thing regarding the MOT and the head lamps . I presume that you mean that the head light plastic lens has gone hazy . Yes they should check the lamps but as long as the pattern of the beam is well defined they will pass .
On the subject of house prices, yes they are ridiculous and many young couples in this country of ours may never own their own home due to the mortgage repayments being so high. House prices do vary and it appears to be worse the further south that you are . It is a case of demand out stripping supply as there is shortage of houses , especially houses at an affordable price. Here in Yorkshire for instance . A 3 bedroom house in 1980 cost around £21000 , the same house today is around £200 k + ! CRAZY !
The lack of housing is due in part to the popularity of number of people buying houses that need modernizing , renovating and then putting the house on the market to let / rent at rediculous prices .
I know that my comments will upset some on the forum but , young people in this country will have to face renting property that will never be their own and won't be able to save enough to be able to buy .......Unless that is , the Bank of Mum & Dad comes to their rescue ! Big problem !
