  First check you can afford to buy a house by going to see a mortgage brooker at any estate agent, that first appt will be free. You tell them what you have saved for a deposit, how much you earn and all your debts (such as car loans etc), they tell you what you can afford. Once you know that, go looking at houses. If you are good at diy, look for for tired houses, not wrecks. Then look what tarted ones sell for and work out what the tired one will cost to bring up to that standard, take off your profit and that is what you offer......

  Start by researching the areas you are interested in and go to house auctions and get on to local estate agents for first dibs on what comes on to the market. I agree with above, don't choose wrecks, choose tired and cosmetically dated houses. If buying at auction, make sure you view the house you are interested in before you buy. Best of luck.
