It's being able to get to the position where you can get a mortgage which is one of the biggest issues. House prices are growing much faster than wages and as has been said this is pushing the average age of the first time buyer much higher. It depends where in the country you are of course but it's simply unaffordable for the 'average wage' in a lot of areas.
