Lucky git. 
 
Having spent December in Thailand I'm quite jealous. 
 
If I didnt have a decent job and about to move into my 1st house I would be thinking about moving over there too.

Forgot to add the answer to the original quesition, 25 living with parents but am awaiting for my house to complete in the next few weeks so I can move into it.

U'd be suprised what you can get.. 
 
I thought Donna and me would get max £150k..  As it happens, we "could" have had another £100k on top of that!!!!!!  But we got a 3bed with a double garage (although we need 2 more   ), everything we always wanted. 
 
Obviously that would leave us with nothing at all per month, so you get what you can afford to pay, and still have enough to have a life.   
 
Go and see an independent mortgage advisor.  It'll be free.  Combined wages make a HUGE difference.  Lee n Kelly done it, Donna and I done it.

22 live in a shared house which is ok, cant afford property around watford as its silly money, hopefully pass my horticulture degree and then get a head gardeners job with propery. then i can get a morgage on a place and rent it out so it pays for itself and i can fall back on it or sell and buy a house once it has gone up in value...fingers crossed

Or see a proper independant one who doesn't charge you a thing and gets the commission from the lenders? 
 
And do none of the work at all, and pay none of the costs?

Im a student in my student house away from home, will (possibly   ) be moving in with my girlfriend and my mate and his fiance, although after some current events involving his missus its looking a bit shaky 3 months before weve even moved in.... 
 
After uni will be living with my girlfriend in some sort of newish rented flat/apartment until the housing market becomes a bit more affordable / stable, and whilst we are renting we will build up a stock of 'first time buyer furniture' to spread out the cost a bit   
 
Also with my accountancy degree in the bag dont want to buy in an area with shite wages

Let your g/f live a little more yet before getting a mortgage or she'll be wanting a divorce at 40! OR take the mortgage out on your own.

or better still buy the house yourself and don't let her move in 
 
At present there is no way my g/f would move in. Best decision I made was to buy and live alone

the bad thing about moving out is that you need your constant income, so would be screwed financially if you wanted to change jobs and couldn't get straight into something of similar money.
