When choosing a property the initial consideration is location. This applies both to commercial and Residential Property.
Location is governed by many considerations that are personal to each prospective purchaser.
Once location has been chosen it is advisable to tour the area both in the daytime and at night so that a general overall view can be obtained. The next step should be to choose and consult your Solicitor as he or she will be able to advise you on all steps of the transaction. After that you should visit a Real Estate Firm and introduce yourself to them and advise them of the type of property you require. They may have a property on their books or alternatively they could advise you as to when they expect such a property to come on the market. At this stage you should revisit your Solicitor and advise him or her of your proposed purchase.
