Estate Agents
Some of the most hated people on the planet according to some surveys! Finding the right estate agent who you can trust is extremely difficult. Some estate agents only specialize in certain areas and possibly in certain types of property therefore research is essential to help you find the best one.
You need to define exactly what you want from a property and do not be persuaded into buying a property that is not right for you. Remember the estate agent acts primarily for the seller and not for the buyer.
Here are some things you should consider:
- What are your main priorities in buying a house/flat?
- Do you want to have easy access to your workplace or easy access to shops and services or a specific location/area?
- Do you require a city dwelling or a country retreat?
- Do you want a house or a flat?
- What is your maximum budget (often very difficult to stick to!)?
- Do you want to buy a house in a certain catchment area for your kids schooling?
