With that deposit, we hope to be able to buy a house in Norwich for about £100,000-£120,000.

Some say 10% is all you need, but are we going to be landed with high repayments?

Neither of us can save any more than we are doing each month as we are having to pay rent. Plus we have no family member able to lend us money, be a guarantor on a mortgage or do anything like that. We are doing this completely on our own.
