This week: A Roof Over Your Head: Part 4: Try Buying It
Twenty-five million people live in homes owned by landlords, and, as was seen in the first three programmes on this theme, it causes problems. There is an alternative - for some: house purchase. But that too can cause trouble, bring problems and pain to the person who tries buying the roof over his head.
