My lovely mum has offered to lend me deposit money for a house. I've been offered a mortgage in principle of up to 140k but there so many properties round here (North East) for around the 90k-100k range I'm going to look for a cheaper house and spend the money modernising it.
Was just wondering, how many houses did you see before you knew you'd found the one? Did you jump in with an offer, worried someone else might nab it or did you hold your nerve and haggle? I've seen an absolute beauty and am going to try and see it this week...
Any tips for a first time buyer would be so much appreciated!
