New Proof in Earnings Leaves London Lagging Behind
Now if you have older kids who dream when they might get on the properly ladder you might spare a micro second of thought for the unfortunates living in the south of England. The typical disposable income of those in work in Scotland is higher than the southerners have, due to the enormous cost of housing and transport in that region. This is an absolute first and it is the only time on record, and they go back a very long way, that Scots have earned more than those south of the border.
Disposable Income on the Rise North of the Border
Last year after housing costs disposable weekly income in Scotland was £407 compared with £400 in London. London’s pre-crash figure was £418. The north has recovered quicker as you can see. But that isn’t to say all is rosy here, it’s still hard to get enough together to buy your own home. So we decided to help savers.
How to Spend it Wisely
Now if those figures look a little high in your experience or if you think that the quality of what you get is more important than price then we here at James Pirie believe we have a ‘win win’ with some dramatic offers stretching in to the new year.
