Heading to Edinburgh. I have work sorted, so like I said the plan was just to rent for a bit. But then I found it was hard to find a place that would accept pets, and I thought why not just buy then - I have some deposit saved up and this way I don't have to give up my cat. It's funny, I didn't think that would be what finally motivated me.

Well thats what we did, sold our flat in Glasgow's famous Finnieston to secure our funds, rented and looked for a few months and then bought in the southside of town. I think that worked in our favour as we were chain free and had the monies ready to go. However we were outbid on several occasions but the system works differently up here although I'm not sure on the details. Where are you looking to move if you don't mind me asking?
looking back I'd agree with @duncs just go for it as sometimes the process takes ages and you're forever looking for that perfect place. Plus renting is money that could be going towards your deposit/renovation/bike fund
