For those who do desire to become home owners, images of coming back to a welcoming home after a day at work, spending time with the family within the sanctity of its walls and pottering in the garden bring feelings of security and happiness. However, it can be tempting to want it all now, and with that desire comes the danger of over borrowing and getting into more debt than you can comfortably repay. It therefore pays to consider what your needs really are and what you would be willing to live without. For example, if you are part of a couple with no children and no need to work from home, could you live without a third bedroom and large garden? On the other hand, if you have a young family would you consider moving to an outer suburb for the extra space it would afford rather increasing an existing mortgage in order to maintain an inner city address?
