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.

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.
