"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?

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

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

i was being sarcastic

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

Gawd, everyone here is so old!
Im thirteen and im just about to get my first girlfriend.
So ha! I'll out live you all!

don't count on it.

it blows my mind that £120,000 will only get you a run down wreck as well.

if you like there's a 2-bedroom flat for sale near me that's £13,000.
it's in the crappest part of gosport though so you'll have to buy new windows every fortnight.

Now thats not very nice

i'm not a very nice person.

there's no guarantee you'll outlive us though, you could disappear under a lorry this afternoon on your way to... well, whatever 13 year olds do in your town.

Each other, probably.
