Wealthy people owned houses and also farms. Most working people lived in rented houses in town. Farmers often used to live in rented lands and farmhouses. Until quite recently most people have been able to buy their own hoses. The price of flats has usually been very expensive. At least two salaries in a family have been normally necessary to pay bank mortgages. The price of real estate has been dropping for the last year but it is still expensive and Banks do not give mortgages or loans so easily. An increasing number of families run the risk of eviction from their flats because CAN’T PAy bACK mORTgAgES TO bANKS. Nowadays not so many people live in rented houses but this may be probably the only solution for young couples and those who cannot afford to get a loan.
