    Turns out i was the highest bidder... Goddamn real Estate agents. Fucking hell...

    Now initial survey right? And i need a solicitor?

  • Bank valuation (survey) first. Then if you do want the place, and can pay for the shortfall in value/price which might be uncovered, then engage independent surveyor, if you think you need it.

  • For all their faults real estate agents are considerably more effective than pretend ones.

  • Don't book any surveys until the mortgage company have done their thing and confirmed they will lend on that property (they will book their own survey).
    Get your IFA on the case to chase up the mortgage company.
    Your solicitor needs to be instructed so they can KYC/AML check you but after that they will do fuck all until they receive the sellers pack from the vendor solicitors and get the mortgage offer from your lender.
