Planning on moving out, but how?!

Essentially it depends on where you want to live. If you get a really cheap, less than beautiful home, you can pay it off within about 10 years (being quite frugal!). Then you have equity and you move on up from there.

Use the help to buy scheme, and stay away from places like London. Also you can barter on the deposits - just because it says you need to put £25,000 down on it, doesnt mean you do. Call them up and try and get it lowered. Do the same for the overall price as well!

Also to people putting op down you don't actually need that much to buy a house. If 2 people are working a full time job they can pretty easily get together say a 10% deposit on a 100,000 pound house after a few months- maybe a year whilst renting in the mean time. The rest will be made up of 90% mortgage which they can pay off monthly. It's only unrealistic if they want to live in London or the south, plenty of places in the midlands and north. Okay it won't be the best house but it's the first one and can be used to get equity release to climb the ladder in future which is how it was traditionally done

Matched Betting is a good way to bring in extra money. Sure it won't overall be enough to gain a house but its still a good source of income!

Thanks, but, I don't do gambling/betting

your loss. I do it part time along side my job and made 3k since March, its not gambling either

anyway OT. houses in Manchester are dirt cheap, I moved from there to essex and you could essily rent a decent place for 700 a month, for that here youd only get a flat. Anyway youll need to rent first unless you have like 15-20k already for a deposit. Btw if youre going to rent and think in 5 years youll be able to afford a house, just remember unexpected costs of things and if you want to go away etc, ots all good on paper but in reality itll take longer

Just rent? Why wait 5 years to buy a house outright (very dubious) - either rent now or save for a deposit and buy in a years time or so with a mortgage.*

We just would prefer having our own house that's all

if your username is your date of birth then you're incredibly young to be getting a house. What's the rush?*
