The average house in London was nothing like £68k in the sixties. I suspect our fictional hard done by ED pensioner probably paid something more like £6k. Also your interest calculations are abit dodgy. Our pensioner did not buy the house for £2m so would not be paying anything like that interest. As for more recent buyers, I doubt many purchasers of £2m houses are doing so with a 95% mortgage. @Ebenezer I agree with CGT on primary residences.
