A third of adults say they’re considering buying a house in the next two years.

A new survey by KBC bank shows that it’s taking people over 3 years to save for a deposit with potential buyers considering a broad range of property types and locations. 

Chief economist with KBC Bank Austin Hughes says there’s huge potential demand in the property market in line with economic recovery with 32 percent of adults are considering buying a house over the next 24 months.

However not everyone who’s considering buying a house can afford it.

One of the key elements of the survey is that there is not a one story fits all when it comes to potential buyers, but they do have one thing in common when it comes to saving; it’s taking the average individual or couple over three years to save for a deposit.

The survey also found that people are willing to expand their commute.
