I gotta say mate it is one of the hardest things going moving back into your parents house after living on your own mate, it'll kill you but its a great incentive to get a deposit saved up.
Don't think you'll manage to save £1200 or even a grand a month without seriously trying, i found it incredibly hard as the first few months you'll just buy a load of stuff you have been struggling to afford while away from home.
Get as much of a deposit as possible and remember that houses over 125k pay stamp duty, My seller just wouldnt go down to 125k so paying an extra 2500 actually cost me 3775.
Get your mums garage stocked with stuff youll need for your own place too like cooker sofa and washing machine if you dont have them
