The Sums?
You have to work out whether this project will work for you.
- What are the demographics of the area?
- What are past sales like in the area?
- What is the capital growth rate?
All these points should help identify the purchase price range.

- Remember they act for the Vendor, not for you!!
- If you have done your home work you can offer what you think is a reasonable price.
- The agent will likely be charging 2% on the sale price.

- Reduced deposit - don't be afraid to offer a lower deposit - why have your money tied up
