    ...we'll be in our 30s when buying....
    Surely by when what we'll want/need will be a bigger property still?
    Are you planning on putting on a lot of weight then?
    .... buy in the London commuter belt ... hope of affording a 'pied a terre' to work from in London an a HOME outside Lodon

    Central London property might hold value better than anything else, an although its a lifestyle we really don't want it might be something we can afford with a mortgage?
    I've no idea where Central London is, nor nothing about London at all.
    So no comment.

    It might be that in living a lifestyle we really don't want now we could pay less.....
    The lifestyle of non-bankrupt is a strong motivator.
    I'm so confused. Maybe we should see a financial adviser....can financial advisers help with this sort of thing?
    No idea, never seen one.

    I've not been much help have I!
