You need to get an agreement in principal (AIP) from a mortgage lender or broker first of all. A lot of agents will only let you view of you have an AIP, and they won't accept an offer without proof that you can afford the house.

An AIP is also a good idea as it gives you a firm idea of how much you can borrow.

It doesn't cost anything to put an offer in one a house usually.

English house buying is different to scotland house buying. So follow guides for your location
