Yeah it's probably best to seriously start looking when you start looking etc. We only viewed 3 places before having an offer accepted, but the nice ones I'd seen sell in the last few weeks of saving I rang the agents and said I'm keen for first refusal. They were happy to take my details. With it being so competitive and the frequency of chains breaking down every little helps I guess.
Also thanks for all the survey chat recently, this has helped me a lot.

I should stop looking at rightmove.
My sentiments too, at the start its all exciting than after a few calls of oh sorry its sold already the shine starts to wear off!

What is it that you are waiting for, do you need to sell somewhere first or just amass the funds? There's no right or wrong way to do it. It's all down to how much you can control your excitement. For me, I was fine to look early as it just gave me more of an idea about what and where I wanted. Also what the different price brackets would give me. But, for ms_com it was torture as she couldn't help getting carried away when she saw somewhere she liked.

We've started the process of talking to a mortgage adviser and the estate agent my gf used previously. Meanwhile we've been looking online to see what kind of place we can afford and I think I've spotted the sweatspot of size/location and slightly under budget, but there's no way it'll be around by the time we are able to put offers down. I'm sure we'll find an equivalent at the time but it's just frustrating for now. I should stop looking at rightmove.
