Please can anyone point me in the right direction? I would love to buy a house but don't know where to start. I am getting an inheritance soon, around 20k so want to use this as a deposit. Trouble being, I am in a job which I hate - on about 17k a year but my boyfriend is unemployed at present.I am thinking of changing jobs too (self employed but with an on-going contract with someone)... is it really silly to even think about a mortgage now? It's just that house prices seem to have come down a lot recently - also, I think I could end up buying a 3 bed house and end up paying less per month than what I pay renting a 2 bed.Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
