We rent. Buying often doesn't become an option without pooling 
resources, be that with parents, partner or friend. There's some pretty 
silly lending going on at the moment which makes buying easier but I'm 
personally steering clear at the moment (I have many friends and 
relatives earning no more than me who have dived into it with glee, 
however).

Renting need not be expensive, especially since you're well outside 
London and have no intention of going there, although to maximise your 
value-for-money you'd probably have to share a place.
