A well-prepared first discussion helps a consultant understand your actual requirement and avoids unsuitable recommendations.
1. Define the Objective
Decide whether you want to rent, buy, register, manage, or document a property matter.
2. Set a Working Budget
Share a realistic range and keep room for deposits, recurring charges, moving expenses, professional verification, registration-related expenses, repairs, or financing costs.
3. Prioritise Locations
List preferred areas and acceptable alternatives. Consider commute, schools, healthcare, transport, neighbourhood character, and daily requirements.
4. Describe the Property
- Apartment, independent house, land, office, or commercial space
- Approximate size and room requirement
- Parking, lift, access, furnishing, and occupancy needs
- Possession or move-in timeline
5. Bring Available Information
Carry listing links, photographs, draft terms, available documents, loan information, and any earlier communication. Do not send sensitive originals unless necessary and agreed.
6. Ask About Scope
Confirm what the consultant will do, what requires a separate professional, expected fees, likely sequence, and which decisions remain your responsibility.
