Is it insane to put an offer in on the first place you actually go and visit?
No, but don't tell them you haven't seen anywhere else :)
If you can distill down the elements you liked so much you can then evaluate whatever comes your way against it.
Viewing is a ball ache but it can open you up to things you hadn't previously considered.
Even if you get an offer accepted you can still exit if something much better comes your way. But that requires a steady hand.

We've been idly looking for flats to buy over the last 6 months or so but without any sense or urgency. Mainly just looking at rightmove to see if anything stands out.
This week we went to see a place for the first time and...really liked it. Is it insane to put an offer in on the first place you actually go and visit?
I'm a little bit worried that we could miss out on this place and then spend the next 6 months going to see places, then realise the first place we saw was perfect!
