>When you're buying your first house, you don't even know what questions to ask. Nobody is really there to help you through it, they're just there to get another day of their jobs done just like the rest of us.
I took one of my parents with me at every stage of house buying. They've done it 4 times at that point. After 35 years of home maintenance they know that to look out for. My mother asked questions I wasn't even considering. But they were good questions.
I went to the mortgage advisor alone. But discussed the results with my parents.
I think most people will have parents, uncles/aunts or good colleagues that would be willing to go through the above with you.
