  • So today I had an offer accepted on what will hopefully be my first house! It's the second house I've put an offer in on but the first turned out to be totally rotten.... If all goes to plan I'll be letting the second bedroom out to a friend. Does anyone have any advice for that sort of thing, any useful guides or anything?Or any advice for this whole buying and owing a home thing in general?

  • Yep - be patient, but remember to keep asking your agent and solicitor "when?"

    Trust nobody - particularly agents. Does the agent use a "deal progressor" or do the agents themselves take care of their own deals? ALWAYS try to deal with the agent with whom you've already got a relationship with. When the agent hands everything over to a deal progressor they're effectively washing their hands of you and leaving you to someone who won't lift a finger unless they've got 10 of the same thing to do.
