Please always do your due deligence (often at a cost) before you commit.
Deal with reputable agents to have rest of mind.
My view is to look at real estate with long term perspective that is renting at first instance or developing for sale. If that is your investment objective you will not quickly jump at a quick often cheap offer that will bring you problems therafter.
There is always an average going price for any particular type of property in a particular location.
Look before you leap.
