Good look with the wedding and the trying for kids (just hope it does not get to the peeing on sticks phase:))
Why not rent an equiverlent to what you would have liked to purchase and see how things go.
Things can change and I see for you in your situation and the current climate renting is the best option.

Buying would not leave your options open as you are at the mercy of the markets.

Peeing on sticks? Is that something I (the male) would do?

Some nice arguments....I created this thread because of my own personal situation.

I have a stable above average paid job. I currently rent a nice but reasonably cheap apartment in a decent area. I live with my partner and we plan to get married soon and (eventually) have kids.
However we aren't settled in this country and are considering !!!!!!ing off overseas (Australia). My predicament is, it worth buying a house here while we get ourselves sorted in terms of sorting our long term future?
OR is it better to rent for now? Given housing doesn't appear to represent a good shorter term investment.
I'm not talking about making £££s I just dont want to buy a house, be in it 2 years, decide to emigrate, then find its worth less than I bought it for.
Alternatively I dont want to live in a flat for 2 years (while we sort ourselves out) only to decide to buy a house and stay in this county. Cos I couldve just bought a house earlier and be a few years ino the mortage.
IF it was 2005 again we probably wouldve just bought a house as it would've seemed a great investment irrelevant of where we end up. But now it isnt that clear cut.
The common ground between Bears and Bulls appears to be is that there will be no serious HPI for a long time.

Any comments or suggestions on the above are very welcome!

If you want to emigrate why not go now? In any event it would seem very risky to buy now if you might well be planning to move in two years time. Who knows what your equity position might be.

No the female (I am male). (if you get to checking peek fertility etc you will see what I mean)
Two hints if she is taking the injection stop now it takes ages to get out of there system.
If things take a long time, say you have been trying for two years (they wont even look at either of you untill you have been trying for two years:))
From a man who knows, good look if it dose not happen for a bit or if you have a couple of failures it can be stressful but keep at it.

It is really worth it.

Cheers! Yes that would be the most logical option. I suppose we were hoping to have (and plan) a wedding whilein the UK, and get work lined in Oz while here too. You are right tho, the equity in a house could change a lot in the next 2 years

I've found that some people you just can't have a reasoned debate with.
The fustration leads you to feeling like your hitting your head against a brick wall.
I've found that it is best to stay clear of the discussions with said persons.

At least hitting my head against the wall knocked some sense into me and reminded myself of that great passage for the excellent "Cool Hand Luke" film

:wall:
What we've got here is.......... failure to comunicate.
Some men you just can't reach.
So you get what we had here last week........., which is the way he wants it.
Well he gets it.
I dont like this anymore than you men
