"Buying my first home - well, trying to!!"

i am 26yrs old and i am trying to become a first time buyer. i plan to buy with my partner but on my income only lets us get someowhere for about £120,000 so i am struggling to get a mortgage that will let me buy anything other than a run down wreck of a place!!

what can i do and are there any others out there who are having these problems??

i saw all that coverage in the papers at the weekend about shared ownership. has anyone got any experience with this?

any good first time buyer websites out there?

So ha! I'll out live you all!

there is gonna be a big story at the weekend about how first time buyers need an extra 30k each to get on the property ladder. it equates to £33bn. look out for it and we can chat on Monday

i was being sarcastic

So you admit this is some advertising and you didn't want our advice?

you got me.... i work for both the websites mentioned as well nationwide and virgin mobile, (buy one now!)

Hmm, are you sat in the "advertising department" of the mortgage website??

I want a job like that.

my goodness... you are a nice chap, you must have lots of friends!?
