How many did you view before buying

As the title says really, how many properties did you view before you found the one you purchased?


We've only viewed 2 so far and already its a headache!

About 25.....they all started blurring in my head after 5.

3! We viewed the other 2 out of curiosity (they didn't overly appeal but wanted to know how it felt to view someone else's house and whether or not viewing would change my initial opinion), saw the 3rd and put an offer in immediately (and secured it). Now happily living there....

It was the first house I viewed. I knew instantly that I wanted to put in an offer but I didn't want to be hasty so viewed two more for good measure before offering on the first one.

Put house on market on Thursday and had viewing on Saturday morning SOLD.
Spent next week viewing every house in the area we wanted and could afford. Found our new home 5 days later and offer accepted.
Mother In Law arrived back from one weeks holiday to find we had sold and bought a new house

We viewed about x6 houses. We had very clear views about what we were looking for. We could see from looking on rightmove and the map if the house was in the close to sea front location that we wanted.

Around 20-25. Put offers in on 2 others before the one that stuck. We crammed as many viewings as possible into a single day each time we were looking (we did 5 different days with 4 or 5 viewings a day), which made comparing them easier (and made it seem like less of a headache). Even if we weren't that excited about a house from a listing, if it was near to one we were already seeing (and had roughly what we were looking for) then we'd go and have a look. Some houses with bad listings ended up being nice properties, or made us consider something we hadn't thought of before.

Viewed about 8 or so and then decided a self build was in order as nothing suited my needs/requirements on the market at the time, Best thing I could have ever done but still stressful up to the point of getting into it.

I only viewed the one!

About 20.
I went to see quite a few of them on my own when my OH was too busy (we were both in sync with what we wanted so it was worth going alone to rule them out). And we did a couple of weekends where we lined up 5 or 6 to see one after the other.
I didn't want to be too hasty so insisted we have a shortlist of at least 3 to go back to see a second time, even though we both "knew" as soon as went into the one we eventually bought

Im hoping that'll we will both walk in and know its the one for us. Although that seems a long way off at the moment!
