Saving to buy whilst renting

OH and I saw a mortgage advisor this morning to get some ballpark figures so we could decide whether buying is feasible for us. At this point in time, it isn't and we'll have to rent instead.
But I'd like to hear from people who saved up to buy whilst they were renting. How long did it take you? Do you regret either the renting, or the buying afterwards? Would you do it again?
