Define what matters
Separate essentials from preferences: location, space, light, quiet, accessibility and outdoor areas. Discuss the full budget, including the questions that still need an answer.
Compare, not just view
Every viewing should have a purpose. Compare layout, condition and surroundings against the same criteria. Keep confirmed details separate from open questions and decide which compromises you can live with.
Make room for due diligence
Before making a commitment, agree how documents, building condition, funding and transaction terms will be reviewed. Scope, professional involvement and fees are discussed for your particular circumstances.
