House Prices, Home Truths More than three million people have joined Britain's army of homeowners since Mrs Thatcher came to power. But for many, high mortgage rates and the slump in property prices have turned the dream of home ownership into a nightmare. Panorama meets the winners and losers in the property game - those who made a killing when the market boomed, and the buyers who now can't make ends meet. Does our national obsession with home ownership make the British economy itself the ultimate loser?
