    It might be wise to talk to a broker first in order for them to tell you how much you could look to borrow. On that basis you would then be able to look at the appropriate properties - no point in looking at £200k properties if you have a £5k deposit and can get a mortgage for £100k

    This will save you a lot of time, but also put you in a strong position with vendors, as you will have everything sorted, and would be ready to move quickly
