Not quite... with a 95% mortgage its more around the £600 mark (at the moment) and then on top of that with a flat (which is what I would get near me) I have service charges and what not and leases to consider+ extortionate fee's and crap when I take out a mortgage- been looking at buying all year and had enough of it all.

I totally get your point however and if it wasn't resonably forced I wouldn't even consider renting as I save £350 a month at the mo which is going to be £500 after Christmas which all goes in the deposit pot.
