00:00Bristol house prices have risen the most for the South West, which from 2023 to 2024 rose
00:08by 3.2%, where the South West average over the same period was 2.7%. Let's find out if
00:15locals are concerned.
00:18Property prices, they're very high in Bristol. Is this something that worries you? Do you
00:22think the prices are-
00:23Well, I suppose because I own my home, I haven't got to worry, but I do worry for the young
00:29youngsters trying to get on the property ladder. I do feel for them.
00:34No, don't worry me, but I just think, like in our day when we were buying our first house,
00:41it was just the same. Do you know what I mean? I know the price was a lot lower, but we're
00:45a lot lower. Do you know what I mean? So it's probably, it balances out just about the same,
00:51I should think.
00:52No, it's not.
00:53No, you've got to have such a lot of deposit nowadays, whereas we didn't have to have a
00:57big deposit like that. So I do feel sorry for the young ones.
01:00Well, property prices in Bristol, they're extortionate at the moment. What is your opinion
01:05on that? Is it accessible for people?
01:07No, no. I've got a daughter who's, she has got a house. She really struggled. I mean,
01:13she and her husband are professional people, but they really struggled to buy a house in
01:17Bristol and they bought a very lonely abode. They're dreadful, just dreadful, yes.
01:26The average price paid by first-time buyers was £329,000 in October 24, which was 3.5%
01:33higher than the years before.
01:35Probably, probably not really. I mean, I think you need to have a bit of help maybe from
01:41family or whatever. I think it's hard. Yeah, it is.
01:44Well, at the moment I live with my mum, but in the future I am hoping to move into supported
01:49living.
01:50Yeah, it's because I feel that they should be able to buy a decent home, you know, to
01:54live in, and they can't really. No, they can't.
