It's not over until the Fat Lady Sings, but with our deposit having been sent to the solicitor, we can but think its a done deal. Our buying property experience has taken us through highs and lows, successes and failures, and elation and depression. In the end we have "hopefully" triumphed, but we had to work at it.
Over the next 7 Frugality entries, I'll take you through our process to see if there aren't some tips and tricks you can use to help you in your own property purchase. Who knows, there could by something that tips the scales in your favour in your own transaction. Sometimes that makes all the difference.

- Get good help
- Getting Financing
- Surveys
- The Lease
- Negotiating
- Finalising the purchase
