Why not shame him, it will help others from getting treated like that.

Always get independent advice not associated with the transaction, trust me, best advice you will ever get.

Cheers

I do know someone who has investments in Ceduna and may know someone there who could help or point you in the right direction.

Interesting times re values in the next 6 months I would imagine.

I too know someone who buys huge numbers of properties from the lenders in bulk lots. These are usually apartments, flats and townhouses, usually the domain of the investor.

Look for stock on market compared to this time last year.

Vacancy rates over last 12 months and how is this trending

Days on the market and vendors discounts are worth looking at.
