Hello, looking for any help and advice as I honestly don't have a clue what I'm doing.
Bit of back story, I lost both of my parents incredibly young and as such inherited the house I currently live in. None of my friends own their own homes so I really don't have anyone to ask for advice.
I've decided to sell the house (London) and move to Brighton as a 3 bed semi is slightly ridiculous for just me and the dog! But I genuinely don't know where to start or how much things cost. I've been doing some research and that's only made me all the more confused.
For example do I have to have a survey done on my house? I've seen stuff about proving that the electrics are up to standard but as mum had all that work done I don't have any paperwork about that.
Do I start putting in offers on houses or do I wait till I have a buyer for mine? What's an MIP, do I need one? Do I pay the solicitors at the end or the beginning?
I'm bound to have a billion more questions as this goes on but would really appreciate some help from "proper" grown ups!
