Examples of property ladder in a Sentence

  1. Ann Nolan:

    I don't think it should be a position where the only people who get on the property ladder are those who have parents who can give them a big lump sum, you can't have a position where people who are earning their own money, renting a long-term property and paying more than a mortgage, have a proven track record can never get on the housing market. I don't think that's socially acceptable.
