The looking around is one of the hard parts, the Offer is the easiest part, the acceptance of Offer is hard to obtain with unrealistic asking prices and people offering well below the asking price.
Then,
once the offer has been accepted the fun begins!
keeping the vendor on side while you try to get all the necessary surveys to make sure your purchase is a good one and the cost of all that makes buying a house one of, if not THE, most stressful things you’ll ever do, not to mention the most expensive!
We are inches from exchanging on a renovation project but we are awaiting a timber suvey to quell our fears of dry rot and woodworm infestation which is make or break!
Good Luck
