Finally you have found the house you were looking for. What is the next step?

When you have found the property you were looking for, you need to get it off the market as soon as you can. 

You must sign a contract or letter of intent with the 10% deposit to get it off the market. But if you are on holidays, logically you will not have a 10% deposit around you. So, what we normally do, is block the property with a deposit of € 5000 or less depending of the price, and signing an agreement for 10 or 15 days until you return to your home and you can complete the rest of the 10%. Of course the contract must indicate all the details of the property that you are blocking.
