Buying a property is always going to be stressful but now the British market is going absolutely bonkers.

Soaring demand and a lack of supply in the housing market is creating a vortex of competition for homes and prices are rising astronomically as a result.

Things are so insane that the price of a property could rise by the thousands from the moment you put the offer up to the time you move in.

Latest data from Britain's Office for National Statistics shows that the average house price in the UK is at £277,000 ($425,957). In London it is even more astronomical at £513,000 ($788,781).

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) also added that prices are soaring because the number of new buyers coming to market rose for the fifth month in succession.

So, if you're thinking of buying a property soon, here are some top tips to not only make your life easier but also help you bag that dream property without any regrets.
