Saving for a deposit - my story

I might suggest getting a credit card and modestly use it. Although you'll have a good deposit and savings, it sounds like there'll be no credit history whatsoever which might actually count against you, or at least make a mortgage application more difficult.

Your doing a great job mate, keep up the hard work. I was in a fairly similar situation but did a few things differently but ultimately with the same end goal.

I hope it all works out for you

It is a real struggle as a single person and not being in the flush of youth myself, good luck with it!. I am having a few set backs raising even a small amount..the unexpected bills and an unexpected health problem, it's not plain sailing but I try to see it as a proving ground getting me ready for this step....
