Due to a long term abusive rship & putting myself through uni as a mature student I have minimal savings & have always wanted a home of my own. I'm now married & we both work f/t earning £50k between us. We're in our mid 40s. Should I give up hope of ever being able to buy a home? Would we get an affordable mortgage? I've always felt ashamed of not getting married in my 20s & settling down like friends who have now nearly paid off mortgages. I didn't have a wild time, just no specific career development or stable rships until now. We rent in a HA area as private rents are v high in our area & I got social housing when I was in my 20s. We would be prepared to relocate if it meant a chance of owning a home. thoughts/suggestions appreciated. tia
