    But don't shell out for a survey until you've had an offer provisionally accepted. And don't be afraid to change the offer, or pull out completely, if you're not happy with the survey once it comes back.

    It's your money, and you don't want to be ripped off.

    I wouldnt spend a penny until the vendor had remove the property from the market outright.

    Made the offer 70k of their 1st asking price and they said they were looking for more. I told them that was the best I would offer as I felt it was more than a good offer. They have accepted my offer.
    :j :beer: :T Just goes to show how overpriced the market is be it buying cash or on a mortgage. Had a look on zoopla.co.uk to see what they reckon the property is worth & its 6k less than what we have agreed on, so I can't complain much.

    hoorah - well done :T
