Me and my OH have started the scary road to buying a house!
We have been to the banks for a mortgage in principle and have saved just over 10k deposit. We have looked at 5 houses this week and another 5 next week and the 1st one we saw I loved!
Just wondering if I'm rushing into it
Only we've been renting for 2 years now, we only planned to stay for a few months then the credit crunch hit and now I'm fed up here!
What sort of questions should I ask the estate agent about the ones we like? was thinking - how long on for? how many viewings? any offers?
The house I like is £109,950 and has been on for a couple of months, how much would you advise to offer if we decide on that one?:think:
Thanks for your help in advance!

Those questions are a good start but make sure you do your own research - there are many resources on the internet for house prices, e.g. mouseprice.com, nethouseprices.com etc. Home.co.uk has quite a good house price tool too. All source their data from the Land Registry so show you the actual price paid.
Good luck with the search!0 -
