I got in touch with the valuer and hes also going to do the structural survey for a total of 365€ incl vat ! bargain, as the valuation was 130 on its own. The survey should be 350 ex vat but as its a small house its 300 ex vat and the valuation is free!
Im meeting the bank on Tuesday to arrange life insurance and then im meeting the surveyor at the house to point out any queries etc . I need to measure the doorways when im there for sofas etc and look under the carpet in the extension to see if its concrtete. A major expense might be getting gas into the extension
Ive also made a spreadsheet to keep an eye on the budget. Ive a contingency of 2000 and 18000 to pay for everything ! thats stamp duty, solicitor, fees, labour + builder , appliances, lock smith, beds, paint etc

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
