How easy is it to buy a house in Great Britain

This looks like a good place to ask: are there a lot of single family houses in England, like here? Aside from the big houses (with names like “The Oaks, Little Upton”), do average people live in houses? All I know is from reading novels about life in England, but everyone seems to live in what I assume are apartments or row houses.

Are you excluding “row houses” (terraced houses) from the definition of single family houses? This might change the answer somewhat, because in cities a lot of houses adjoin the neighbouring house(s).

Anyway, most people in England live in houses, rather than apartments.
