Having originally been intending to move next year the wife and I have put the house on the market this weekend and are viewing a property we like this Friday.
It's one we've had our eye on for a while and it's recently been reduced to a more 'realistic' price.
Now I know ours has just gone on the market but they tend to sell well where we are, so with a bit of luck things should progress quite quickly.
I've done my sums, set our budgets and, as I've managed to make my head spin looking at mortgages this morning, may go the broker route. The Estate Agent has one in house but I don't think they are whole of market so will likely look elsewhere.
If the house we are viewing meets our expectations it's likely I'd put an offer in.
What I'm wondering is, should I be progressing the new mortgage and an agreement in principle at this early stage? Can this even be done without an identified property and rock solid figures?
Any advice welcome!
