Before you start comparing listings, write down what your next space needs to do for you. A short list of priorities makes it easier to recognise a relevant option.
Separate essentials from preferences
Think about the location, space, access and timing that matter most. Keep a separate list of features you would like but can be flexible about.
Keep your notes in one place
Record each property name, location, quoted amount and the date of the conversation. Note questions that still need an answer, rather than filling in missing details yourself.
Compare on the same basis
Check which area measurement and price period each listing uses. Ask for clarification where details are missing, and confirm availability before planning a visit.
