I know from experience that getting your first place is a struggle, but it seems to me that when people complain that buying a house is totally unaffordable, often they are looking for a 3 bedroom place in a nice area of town. Generally speaking, for an average young couple looking for their first place with no/little deposit, there are options available. It's just a case of being more realistic with your expectations of what your first pad is going to be like.
