Saving for a mortgage .
Comments

Hi I need all your expert opinions as my dad thinks he knows everything .
But about me , I'm 23 years old , a self employed electrician . I have saved £20,000 for a mortgage. We saved this in 2 years as we are lucky enough to still live at home( me and my gf ) I earned last year £25,000 give or take . Girlfriend earns 15k . I've always got work all year around for the last 5 years ,so not really worried About having ni work .
Anyway me and my girlfriend want to buy a house ( only a 2 bedroom house ) nothing to fancy and will look for something as cheap as possible just so we can get on the market .
Here's the problem, my dad thinks I should save up £100,000 and just stay at home because he keeps telling me house prices are gunna go down , but he's got no proof just thinks he's right .
So guys what would you do ? Any help thank you
The only expert in this situation is yourself. I think deep down you'd know when the right time to move away from the parents place.0
