00:00There is that model of you have to aspire to home ownership and cost is just making that impossible for
00:07so many people.
00:08So what are the other options? And it does seem the other options are just so not standardised.
00:15I would say that with rent as well, there's this feeling that in London, there are no rooms under ÂŁ1
00:19,000.
00:19You are stuck with that. They're so completely untrue if you just dig a little bit.
00:24People in general, like private landlords, do not tend to ask for the same kind of money that a flat
00:30owned by a big company will kind of do when they own a whole building.
00:35New builds are different to old ones. If you have that time to go and do that research, you will
00:39find so many different ways to live.
00:41But the question is, should we just be leaving it to luck in that sense?
00:45Surely with somebody who is 80 plus, I mean 90 plus, their health is not going to be where it
00:52was when they were 20, 40, 60.
00:54It needs to not be left down to luck or a good situation. We need to have some more standardisation
00:59of options.
