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.

Try not to think of it as your home yet, don't start mentally planning where to put your stuff or what colour the walls will be as an emotional attachment makes it so much harder to walk away if something does go wrong.
Good luck though! I agree with others that getting a good solicitor is the most important thing now. Do you have friends or family who might be able to recommend one?
I know, it is so hard not to get excited and start planning in my head! I have just emailed a friend for a recommendation. Just got to wait for my mortgage appointment on wednesday now!0 -
I've just had an offer accepted on a house too! I know things can still go wrong but quite excited!
I've gone for a local solicitor my cousin used (she is also a solicitor). No chain from me or them so hoping we can complete quickly!0 -

Hope it all goes well for you.
I will add my voice to those saying you should use a local solicitor not an online one.0
