Where to buy?

Hi deepikasnv

You make a good point. However, do you mind expanding on what you mean? The original poster is concerned about areas rather than individual properties.

Do you mean arrange to view no more than 7 properties in a day? Or do you mean don't even consider any more than 7 properties?

Hi,

I agree with Highfive on many points. I am no expert but my opinion would be, the best places to buy would be with easy links into the city, i.e. near a tube station for London or train station. Look at what happening in the area in the future, in terms of is anything going to be built, you can obtain this information from the local planning office for the area you are considering, therefore make sure you do your research on all the area and when viewing potential flat to buy and then rent, knock on a few neighbours doors and ask there opinion on the area and how they find living there, this will help your when you come to renting the property.

Talking to local estate agents and asking about what kind of properties are in demand would help too. They'll be able to tell you what and where a safe investment is. Some good points from JodieB there too.
