Why don't European own their own homes?

Wow I wonder why it's cheap

Who told you we don't!??

>>70547926
maine has lost population every year for like the past 40 years...

that is why you see so many homes under $50k here... they're either in Mexican/black areas or have lost population/value for the past 30-100 years consistently....

Europe tends to not have the same amount of ghost towns / rust buckets as America does.

this needs renovating but it comes with a hefty bit of land

alternatively you can pay £40K more and get a house that doesn't need renovating and has equal land
or pay roughly the same as pic related and buy more land and build your own home

so did my former home in tallinn old town, but it was not comfy at all since the temperature drops to -fucktillion and humidity is always 90%+ so give me a fucking break will you? wood is the single most reasonable building material in the north (unless you're expecting a medieval siege)

Only soviet shitboxes have central heating. And yes, it's a bitch to keep an old stone house warm by yourself, and don't even think about going away for a week in winter. Wood is one of the best building materials in the north for the pure practicality of it.

>>70547834

Wood is a shit for peasants anywhere. No exceptions, unless you wan't a temporary militarty camp or something.

>>70554440
>100-150 bucks/monts. How's that shit?
my gas bills for local heating with my own oven (hot water and floor heating included etc.) was no more than 20 euros a month. my firewood bill for the whole heating period (which is roughly half a year) is 250 euros. even cheaper if i get wet wood in the summer and dry it myself.

central is just bullshit. for 120m~2 apartment with central i would have to cough out about 200-300 eur a month minimal, the record cold months that would be even more since the only houses that have central are commie tier shithouses with shitty insulation and infrastructure which heats the grass around the house not the house itself.

>>70554673

>>70554763
M8, I literally leave it burning 24/7 during cold months, during hot months it only provides hot water for bath and costs about 10$ for months, which beats yours on a long run.
> only houses that have central are commie tier shithouses with shitty insulation
How many fuckin times I should tell you I installed it only 6 years ago? And our apartments is here since 17th century at least, I don't thing there were commies back then.

>>70554940
mate, i think you're not actually talking about central heating as i understand it, but rather a version of local-central.. ?

do you have the oven in your building or is there a distance to the heating station, perhaps even a couple of kilometers?

>>70555014

Doesen't matter. As long as you have a system of radiators that all connect to one single heater, or boiler, that's a "central heating".
