Hey,
Any advice or opinion will be very much appreciated here, if someone has previous experience.
I'm now in a group of 8 people that are looking for a house. We've agreed to start looking and arranging viewings when we can to get a feel for what's around and to grab something of good value, early on. I'm totally happy with this I don't mind looking now as exams are nearly out of the way (only easy two now left).
But I just wonder if anyone agrees or disagrees with my decision to look now? The uni suggests to look from March onwards and I don't know if I am rushing myself too much.
To let me know what you did and what happened would be great.
Thnx in advance
Steve

Far from being too early to start looking, you're showing responsibility and initiative, and I applaud you for it.
unipol suggest to look from the 13th of january onwards. Where abouts are you planning on living, theres loads of houses in the headingly and hyde park area, but obviously the best ones go firts. You will find 8 bedroom houses have fairly limited choice.
Yes, thnx for everyones advice. We are looking properties in the LS6 area (headingly(cardigan road), hyde park, etc). We looked at two today on victoria road that were awful. We have 6 more bookings made for tomorrow in the locations I have mentioned.
I totally agree, there being snapped up so quickly it's not real.
