Looking at these posts so far, I think its quite easy to guess which members own their properties and which ones rent! I'm personally one of the latter, and feel that for far too long prices have been rising at a ridiculous rate.

Over the past few years, I've gone from being a student to qualifying for my first job, to a couple of pay rises, and even after that fairly significant rise in income, a lot of houses are still creeping out of my reach.

I don't profess to know an awful lot about the subject, but is there nothing that can be done by the government to cap/slow the rise in these prices?
