I agree with the first comment, me and my wife had to rent for a few years before being able to afford a mortgage. You don’t expect to be moving into a smaller property when you’re paying out more. My advice would be to spend some time searching round for a good deal. I found http://www.mortgages2suitu.co.uk returned the best result for us. Also try talking to friends or family who will give you honest advice.

The biggest shocker for me is the difference in quality of home you can get renting to when you are buying, I think you really have to downsize when you take out your first mortgage if you are used to renting.
