Yes, of different vehicles. Not the same one each time.

Are you sure about that statement, you may only test drive once but others don't!? When buying a car I often test drive the same one more than once, the first time you are often "giddy" and overcome by all the new buttons that you don't really fully absorb the "feedback" the car is giving you. The new Qashqai I just bought I test drove 3 times, and specified on the 3rd time I had it for about an hour to take it around the roads I most often drive!


Although we are starting to gear ourselves up for selling ours and buying another. I would accept that somebody who is buying may come around more than a couple of times but there is a fine line between "ensuring its right for them", and kicking tyres and just wanting to show it off to others that come around, the process of doing a viewing is not only time consuming but rather intrusive on your life as you have somebody prodding and poking around your home. I would only do what's needed, but more often, and its something we have already being doing, doing a LOT of drive by's of houses that we like!

I am a FTB, it is not my intention to irritate the vendor. I have provided all the information needed to the EA's, solicitors etc. I was expecting to have been setting a date for exchange when my solicitors told me the seller had not even submitted the documentation needed to kick off the searches! They have pushed me to do everything ASAP which I have done, only to find they have not bothered to fill in the forms needed to kick off the process.
I don't think its a good idea to commit to buying a house without seeing it more than once! its a lot of money to commit to a superficial viewing. To date i've done 3 viewings, is this excessive? I dont intend to do any more.
I know it doesnt sound like anything, but i'm a ftb doing this alone. I've been renting for years and am really scared of ending up with a paper house. i've no experience in buying houses and am being told horror stories daily which isnt helping to calm my nerves. I dont know what's normal and what's not, sorry to be a pain.

So you haven't commited yet. Would get on my nerves as a seller.
