THE property ladder is getting shorter, according to research.
LV= home insurance, which commissioned research among 2,000 people, said that rising house prices and stricter lending criteria have resulted in the younger generation making fewer moves up the property ladder.
It is estimated that today's 20 and 30-somethings will own just 1.7 homes on average over their lifetime, compared to the over-50s who will own almost twice as many at 3.2.
