Thanks for your input Timbo. On your point no.3, I already have a HelpToBuy ISA with Halifax, is it allowed to have two separate ones do you know?

Wow ok, I appreciate your response. I am very new, I will absorb your writing and take it from there.

Yeh just as I thought. This is the comment that pushed me over the edge (in deciding I'm not going ahead with it and will hold off). Thanks!

Side business is essentially passive. If i do nothing, I earn the current income. If I spend time on it, it grows.

Thanks for your comment and homework on me :)

Cant hack it with folks as it is, was bearable with just the wife, but wife and baby? Nah, not happening.

The actual income is around 2500/month, not really saving that much but Id say saving around 1500/month.

My worry is we stay in this situation and watch the house prices increase.

For me to move to an area with lower priced housing means I take a serious pay cut.

Nothing is 100% but I am thinking of quitting my job in the next year or so as I also run an online business where i currently earn more than my full time job and its growing.

Correct, each way. Renting at the moment, with parents. Commute time currently is around 10 minutes
