First time buyer.

Good Evening all,
I'm just after your thoughts and advice really. I am a 21 year old who is in a position to buy my first house.
First off, for a first time buyer like myself at 21, is a 5 year fixed at 3.39% a good start? I have £40,000 to put down for a deposit and I'm looking to buy a place at 80-90k. Would you say this offer in principle is a good one or should I look more?
On a £80,000 house, my monthly mortgage repayment would be £184, I earn £1145 a month after tax. The only other bill I have is my phone bill after clearing my debts recently!
In your experience how affordable is that plus average cost of other bills for myself?
Many thanks.
Chris
