It's completely different.

Mass ownership only started in the 1960s/1970s. Before that most people were tenants. In the UK there were large scale council housing so people had moderate rent and security of tenure but they were still only tenants.

Again there is no human right to own property and that would not make much sense unless you want to create another scandal down the line of shoddy, worthless properties that were built in order to be affordable to people who can only afford £15,000 over 25 years...
