I don't think inspection trips are a good idea, they only show you what they want you to see and often are selling the property at a higher price than some other agents. Have a browse around this forum there are many topics about this. Its better to have a look around yourself and also look at an area at different times of the day.

If you do go ahead don't rush into any decision whilst you are there, wait until you get home...remember its a buyers market, whatever the agents may say.

I used Medsea they were not pushy at all.

Fully agree with jacky quite oftern you can find the same property in an estate agents window for a lot lower price.

Remember you have the controling hand, I personelly would not buy a property you way, yes use there service to look around and make notes of where, what, why, and when then do a visit of the estate agents because quite oftern you will find the house that you want not the house the agent is trying to sell you.

Hope you enjoy your trip but proceed whit caution.

Thanks for the advice. I have to say when I have looked property selling without an agent there doesnt seem to be any difference. Admittedly they are only asking prices but seem comparable when you look at private ads on local costa newspapers and magzines.

Same here http://www.wherepropertysells.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1 where prices seem comparable if not more than medsea for example.

Funny old world :shock:

Thanks a lot and will probably use trips for more info gathering.
