From your first question to a clearer decision.

Share your preferred location, the purpose of your enquiry, an approximate budget range and your expected timing. You do not need every detail ready. Start with what matters most to you, and use the conversation to identify the information you still need.

At the end of this step: you and the team should understand the main priorities for the discussion. An enquiry does not reserve a property.

Ask for the exact location, plot particulars and any relevant layout available for discussion. Talk about access, surrounding development and the distinction between existing and proposed features. Note anything that needs checking during a visit.

At the end of this step: you should have a short list of things to see and questions to ask.

Confirm the meeting point, visit time and access arrangements before travelling. During the visit, look at the surroundings and visible infrastructure. Compare what you see with the information discussed, and ask about any differences.

At the end of this step: separate what you have personally seen from what still needs written confirmation.

Request information relevant to the property you are considering. Ask for a written price breakdown, payment stages and the terms that would apply if you proceed. Take time to review the material and obtain independent professional advice for important document or transaction questions.

At the end of this step: identify any missing information before making a binding commitment.

You may choose to continue, ask further questions or take more time. If you proceed, confirm the agreed actions, required documents and who will handle the next step. The sequence will depend on the specific property and the agreed terms.

At the end of this step: keep copies of the relevant written information and know who to contact for follow-up.
