Things are gaining some momentum for me in the flat-hunt. I've viewed 5 places this weekend, and a couple a fortnight ago. I've also been watching online listings for a long long time and have looked at details and condition reports for a fair few more.
From all this I have a good idea of what I want, what I would compromise on, and what I might realistically get. Two that I saw this weekend would tick enough boxes. I've noted interest so should get an opportunity to put in offers, but being in Scotland they're closed bid systems so I have to decide how much I reckon they're worth, and how much I am willing to overbid.
Either of them would make me really happy if I'm honest. One is a bit cheaper, so a more reasonable mortgage and more equity. The other is a stretch but do-able at a push, and could be a much better investment as it's bigger and has an extra room. Both would work out okay in terms of LTV.
Fingers, toes, and everything else crossed!
