Shop around and find a club with a monthly subscription if you intend to do plenty flying once qualified.
For example - the club i am with charges £40 a month with a fleet of aircraft to hire from £99 (C152 weekday) an hour all inclusive (fuel, home landing fees etc). The rate is worked out from an onboard Hobbs Meter too so you only pay for Master Switch on to off.
This is far cheaper and less hassle than ownership in my opinion.
