Do I have to have my finance in place prior to making an inspection trip?

It is a good idea to have your finance in place before you make your inspection trip, certainly enough available to put down a deposit. After all, if you find your dream home you will want to make arrangements to buy it as soon as possible. Any delay can mean you miss out!

In order to avoid “gazumping” you will be well advised to put down a deposit as soon as possible in order to secure the purchase and fix the agreed price.
