Ours is £140k and thats a mortagage of £380 each a month. We have saved a £13k desposit too. If you are willing to save then it can easily be done. Dont rush into it though. Renting at your folks house is beneficial whilst saving a good deposit. You will alsno need at least £2k to put aside for fees etc

Not where I live. You can do what you want, apart from structural. It is the ideal way to get on the property ladder. You still gain the increas ein house price. I live in a £160,000 house that I wouldn't be able to afford normally.

no shard ownership is where the builder etc own and percentage i.e you pay for half and they own half
Not good IMO but everyone is different

even 30 no chance, interest only on 5% is 583 a month.
jus would like to know what kind of deal he's on because 380 a month is like a rate of 3.25% and interest rates havent been there since 2003

There BOTH paying 380!!! £760 a month all in is more or less 30yrs on £127k & I just used 5% as a benchmark...could be a little less seeing they have a good deposit!
