Ensure that you track your purchase carefully and have money ready at the right time. 9

Agree an estimated exchange and completion date when you make an offer. 8

Make an offer based on sold property price research – not asking prices of other properties. 7

Always visit properties at different times of the day and regularly test journeys you will make. 5

Search for property everywhere you can from on-line property portals, to local newspapers, auctions and private sellers. 4

Make sure the property that you want – at the price you can afford – is available! 3

Do write a needs and wants list so you visit properties that are right for you. 2

Check your finances first so you know how much you can afford to spend. 1
