Perhaps you've reached the point where you want a place of your own; or perhaps you've been renting and had enough of paying someone else's mortgage. Written by Hilary Osborne, Editor What Mortgage magazine. There comes a time in most people's lives when they decide to take the property plunge. Perhaps you've reached the point where you want a place of your own; or perhaps you've been renting and had enough of paying someone else's mortgage.Whatever the reason, the months it takes to buy your first place are likely to be some of the most exciting - and anxious - of your life. But before you start gazing through estate agents’ windows, you need to work out how much you can afford to spend. There's no point setting your heart on a three-bedroom townhouse in Chelsea if your budget will only run to a studio flat in Chesterfield. Establish how much you can borrow (see guide), add the amount you have in savings, and you have a good idea of how much you have to spend. next About C4 | Jobs | Text Only | Access Advice | Contact Us | Terms and Conditions | Privacy | Help | Online Ad Sales
