PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    I went to see a property when i had no funds, no intention of buying at the time.
    I fell in love with it and made the purchase happen, even though it was Grade II* listed and 200 miles from where I lived.

    I think you should see as many properties as you can.

    only because no one else bought it before them you don`t mind having your time waisted as you are a time waister yourself
    Actually the house was on the market 10 days. Yes in those 10 days they viewed the house, put their flat on the market and sold it so were able to make an acceptable offer on ours.

    Oh and the word is waster not waister unless you've been peeking at my skirt size and you're making a point!

    I am so pleased real people like you have told us of your experiences which as an agent I know happen all the time.

    Don't worry about the waister man all his posts are twisted.

    Why do you get so offensive towards those having a differing point of view. You are not the sole source all that is right. If you have nothing useful to say why post at all.
    no obviously you are

    I know someone who not only went back for a 2nd viewing, but sent a builder around to quote for an extension, all without being even on the market!:eek: (they haven't even offered to date!)
