Where do I start?

At present I live with my Wife and 2 children in a 2 bedroom Council house.
I have been here for 2 years, and will need to wait another 3 years before I can buy and another 5 after that, until I can sell without paying back the discount.
I recently spotted the following property - http://212.50.188.108/cgi-win/vebra.cgi?details1?src=vebra&PropertyCode=1514001/CLARA/14338/1
I have been looking about for a mortgage, but unfortunately a salary of £22,000 doesn't get you a great deal nowadays.
I have been tempted to put up a £5000 deposit and try for a mortgage for £90,000 - £95,000 and hope my offer is accepted.
Part of me wants to wait and buy my council house, and the other half wants to get onto the property ladder.
Any words of wisdom?
