Unit 7 An Englishmans Home Is His Castle

• Housing
• For the new couple the first essential after
  marriage is a place to live in, because they
  usually want to live independently. Housing in
  Britain is better than in most countries in the
  world. The total amount of space in comparison
  with the population is greater than almost any
  other country, but the housing space is not
  evenly distributed.

• The British people traditionally like to
  live on small housesthat is why there are not
  too many high buildings, and most of them are in
  the centre of London. Most of the houses consist
  of two floors with a garden at the front and
  back. On the ground floor, there is the front
  room , the living room,the kitchen and the hall,
  from which a staircase leads to the landing on
  the first floor. On this floor there are two or
  three bedrooms, a bathroom and a lavatory. There
  are many types of houses, such as the detached
  house, semi-detached house, and the terraced
  houses. There is another type of house built by
  the local authorities, which is called a Council
  House, whose rents are low and which are for
  those who are comparatively poor.

• Even before the marriage the young couple
  will put their money together, and start saving
  for a house. Meanwhile they may look through
  advertisements to find a house for rent, they
  may mortgage a house through a building society
  or they may buy a house outright, which seldom
  happens, because they usually cannot afford such
  a sum of money. Suppose they mortagage a house
  through a building society, for which they can
  borrow up to 95 of the value of the house on the
  security of the property. Then they have to pay
  back a little of the loan on the house each month
  for use.

10

• In a bout twenty years they may pay off the
  debt and become full owners of the house. If they
  fail to pay the mortgage over a certain period of
  time in the twenty years, the building society
  has the right to reclaim the property. So they
  have to work hard and try to avoid unemployment.
  The house is usually unfurnished, and they have
  to buy their own furniture. Usually when the
  wedding arrangements are made the young couple
  visit the shops together, choosing furniture,
  fabrics, kitchenware, tableware and many other
  things for the wedding. When they take possession
  of the house, they spend a lot of time arranging
  the furniture, decorating the rooms and making
  them comfortable .
