My husband and I are currently saving in LISA accounts which give you a 25% bonus after a year of being open. By October this year we should have around £12-15k between us for a 10% deposit (we live in South Wales so not pricey).
My question is, when is appropriate to start looking? Some okayish houses nearby have been up for 4 or 5 months and the more desirable ones go in days as you'd expect. We check Rightmove a few times a week to get an idea on prices and what we're looking for but everytime we see a nice one DH wants to arrange a viewing. I think this is a bit unfair on the seller as we can't commit until October at the earliest. He says it would be good to help us get a more clear idea on what we want though.
Would you be pissed as a seller at someone like us coming to view? We probably wouldn't go to any that state no chain on the listing as presumably they're trying to get rid a bit quicker. Is it worth just calling a couple of EAs to let them know our situation?
