   Eeep, have just discovered that Skipton Building society do mortgages for people with less than 5% deposit providing you can prove you’ve paid your rent in full and on time for the last year, which I have (just about).

   There’s also a little 2 bed terrace in our village for a price that we could afford (much cheaper than our rent), I’d ideally want to get a £3,000-£5,000 deposit together.

   I think I might be able to do this.

     @moogal I may need to do some fund raising and calling in of favours from people, but I might just be able to. The house a couple of doors down from where we used to live is up for sale and they just reduced the price. It’s like my ideal home too

     @BethanyBlack Plus that stability of knowing you're not at the mercy of a landlord's whims

     @moogal being able to know that we can’t get thrown out, and don’t have to have someone come and inspect the property every 6 months.

     @BethanyBlack Absolutely. A vastly underrated sense of security.
