I've looked on MSE for deals for years, but now i'm looking to settle down and buy a house. All the things I thought I was too cool for.
I need to know all the processes, needed and will keep looking in, for tips and hints.
First question. how much money in hand do we need to buy a house for about £120K, so we know what we need to save.
Cheers

As much as you can...
10% minimum. 15% for better deals. 25%+ for best deals.
Then fees/costs on top. Allow £2k-£3k.
Say £20k.Act in haste, repent at leisure.
