If UK properties double again twice in the next 20 years then there's either going to be massive inflation or massive civil unrest.

Based on the author's "About Me" page, I suspect the article has a slight London-centric bias on this point. Quadrupling in 20 years (~doubling in real terms?) seems unlikely even for London's atypical market though.

Elsewhere, things are slightly better. Inflation does seem to have improved the prices a bit already, but real wages have dropped too, so they're still not that affordable. I can't say it's looking good for the author right now...
