WW1 - not many people would have owned their home- but if they did yes
WW2 - the ones that had - of cause they did - normally they would be married and their wives did - they also had to pay into goverment bonds for war damage on the homes - as the normal building insurerance woud not cover you if a bomb dropped on your house.
Sorry - could not think of anything witty!Just call me Matron - Too many handbagsComment

Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostI think the same generally applies today - Contents and building (and vehicle?) insurance don't usually cover damage caused by civil disorder or war. So if there's a riot, and petrol bombs start getting lobbed around one wouldn't be covered.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

I wonder if the bombs started droping again - the Goverment would issuse the same type of Bonds to "guarantee" your assetts.Just call me Matron - Too many handbagsComment

Cannot think of a good reason to rent. I don't want to be paying rent when I when I can avoid it by owning a house.
Imagine the cost of rent if you live to 100. That is at least 30 years times 12times whatever your monthly rent is, or zero if you own a house. AND.... that would be out of a limited pension for most folk !!! They'd have to be on benefits to afford it.
30 * 12 * 500 quid = 180,000 pounds eekeekComment
