I rent and I think it's a good learning curve. I have always been like you said in your first sentence. But I'm glad I didn't jump into a mortgage especially with my girlfriend so we can see if we can last without strangling each other | |

I'm self employed, mortgages are out there, you just need a reasonable deposit (30%ish). | |

Why not try housing associations for social housing or mid market rent. Both are cheaper than private let / paying someone elses mortgage. | |

Cheers guys. Would like to be able to strike a balance between being able to rent and save for a bigger deposit too but I'm unsure how that can be done without knowing what I can afford when I don't know what the outgoings will be. | |

I rent and its good if yiu want hassle free living. What I.mean is if something goes wrong/brakes its someone elae who sorts it and doesnt affect our money anymore. Depending in area etc depends on how much rent you pay so be prepared in this climate to pay that bit more for a nicer prooerty/area. | |

Nothing wrong with renting if it fits your needs, i.e. nowhere else to live, with the girlfriend before buying to make sure she isn't a crazy bitch, new job, etc. | |

Dead money I know. Paying someone else's mortgage as well - I know. |
