@LHL really good shout and I am looking at flats. I am planning to let a room out to a mate which should help that too in terms of monthly costs.
Flat isn't necessarily such a bad option for a few years. They're more manageable to redecorate/improve first time round, and it's still possible to make money doing so (we added just under 10% in 3 years). I also found that the way capital accumulates paying mortgage rather than rent made a difference to our finances over that period - came out in a much more comfortable position.
