Would be homeowners are making huge sacrifices to build their finances in order to purchase a home. It can take an average first time buyer five years to save for that 5% .
3m Britons even claimed that they would turn off their heating to save for their house .
49% of would be buyers would sacrifice their alcohol intake across the UK, with only 12% of north east residents ready to take this plunge.
