    You just need to speak to a mortgage specialist who is going to give you realistic information, and then from there you can decide what to do. This may mean settling for a cheaper house, or seeing if you are able to come up with an even larger deposit if you want to buy an expensive home. Rents tend to be more than mortgage repayments but imagine what your mortgage payments would be at 12% interest, which could very well happen again at some point.
