26th April 2011
My offer has been accepted (21/4) so now Im all nerves that it will fall through or someone else will come along with more money.
Ive been to the back and given them the house price, address and agents details. Ive now officialy applied for a mortgage , not just approval.
I went to see a solicitor but wasnt happy with his price so Im looking for another one, hopefully that will be sorted soon as the estate agent and bank want their details.
Today I paid a €5000 booking deposit. I now really want to get a move on and sign contracts so it cant fall through. Ive no idea how long this will take. Presumbly the solicitor has to do his thing and the bank have to approve me and the house. I plan to get a structural survey done when approval comes through but before the contracts are signed.

My Tips
* Dont believe a word any estate agent or solicitor says. Expect long delays and no one to ring you on time
* visit the area where the house is at different times of the day
* ask the police if you have any niggling doubts about the area
* check the taps work and windows open
* ask if the heating works, just because its there doesnt mean it works
* see if the neighbours have added extensions or converted the attic
* never act too excited , the agent can smell an eager buyer a mile away
* be willing to pay the price to get the house or willing to walk away and leave it
* dont think too much about the price. Its only a guideline and a house is only worth what someone is willing to pay
