PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.
We're aware that some users are experiencing technical issues which the team are working to resolve. See the Community Noticeboard for more info. Thank you for your patience.

I would wait until you can do it with your partner and you have at least a 10% deposit saved.
With prices stagnating you can afford to wait for your other half and you don't want to risk negative equity.
Really focus on cutting down your outgoings for the next 6-9 months and you will be in a better position come the new year.0 -

I agree 100% with Dave, why would anyone want a new build? They're soulless, flimsy, expensive houses. Surely you can do better with a smaller budget.
Many who were hoping to have their mortgages paid off by someone else are no doubt now scrambling about trying to find a buyer?0
