"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?

*Shrugs* Meh, I like being evil. I have a good job, a good wife and a good house, that should make me smug, but actually it makes me arrogant...

I live with my parents. I've got to go through two years of sixth form before worrying about houses.

I think.

sixth form!!!!! God, i am 27 and struggling to get ontot the ladder... plenty of time yet son!!

begs the question... what do you do for a living? am i going to far to ask for an apology?

I'd apologise if you could prove that I'm wrong...otherwise you'll just have to live with it. I work in IT and Telecoms Purchasing for a major tour operator. Not going to say anymore than that...
