What is the objective?
Before comparing properties, describe the role you want this purchase to play. Are you considering future personal use, rental income or a longer holding period? Tell the local team how flexible your timing is and which assumptions you want to examine.
What sits behind the rental estimate?
Ask which comparable properties were used and whether the estimate describes gross income or income after expenses. Ask what occupancy assumptions were made and which costs are still missing. Treat the estimate as a scenario to examine, not a promise.
Who will manage the property?
Consider who will organise maintenance, tenant communication and day-to-day administration if you live abroad. Ask what services are available, what they include and how their fees would affect the operating budget.
What would change the decision?
Write down the information that would make you reconsider: different recurring costs, a later completion date, a layout that does not suit your intended use or a financing condition you cannot meet. These questions help keep the comparison grounded in your priorities.
What needs specialist confirmation?
Use the property discussion to identify the legal, tax and financing questions specific to your circumstances. Confirm them with the appropriate qualified professionals before relying on them in a purchase decision.
