BBC 3 property documentary (well worth watching)
BBC: Cheap homes for sale?
Documentary in which newly-married presenter Alex Riley finds out what it takes to climb on to the property ladder. Alex has a dream of buying a home for himself, his wife and possible future children, but as he embarks on a jaw-dropping journey he discovers nearly a million properties lying empty and soon realises that Britain's property ladder is more than just broken.

I just watched it now on BBC3. It's absolutely appalling. Politicians and councilors just don’t care. Nazis talking about gassing Jewish people would have sounded more sincere and sympathetic!!
Politicians and councilors are your average landlords. It is in their best interest to starve the housing market.
As one of the residents pointed out, the landlords make more money to demolish and build expensive new homes than renovate affordable houses for poor people.

i just watched it and it was a really good,agree with peter-2008 it certainly highlighted the fact that those in power, councilors and politicians have no answers to the housing "problem".
They would rather demolish thousands of perfectly good victorian built homes and replace them with a load of new build shoe boxes,its a disgrace.they are motivated only by greed and money.

Even Ringo's old house in Madryn street, Liverpool is under threat due to current Government and council policy - pathfinder project what a joke.
Pure greed at the centre of this housing debacle.

They will be burned badly. The comeuppance isn't here yet but it's in the pipeline, and worked into the system.
