Hi there
The property market (and property price inflation) has slowed down so renting is not a bad option in the short term - you have less to worry about property prices going up too fast.
What you really need to consider is this where you want to live for the longer term, e.g. more than 5 years? If you are not sure then may want to rent for 6 or 12 months to see if you like it.
Longer term history has shown it is always good to buy a property. So this would definitely be my recommendation - but only after you have ensured its the place you want to live in.
Some useful sites to check out property prices (actually sold) and the general area and facilities where you want to live are:
www.ourproperty.co.uk ... for sold price information
www.upmystreet.com ... for local transport, schools, restaurants, etc
I hope this helps

Buy if you can. Why pay rent and get nothing at the end of it when you can pay the same amount (maybe just a little bit more) and get to own the place?

Always buy if you can. At least you get to recoup some of the money paid in if you buy. Money paid in rent is dead money.
