Why not use a buyers agent? A good, independent buyers agent will set a strategy and provide you with advice and ongoing mentoring for free. Your only fee is commission based on the successful purchase of a property. I also recommend brokers, accountants, solicitors and other consultants with no extra fees attached.

I would get the pest and building inspections done first. They will determine if the building is structurally sound and if there are white ants, termites or any other pests.
