In Sydney, expecting some showers and a high of 18 degrees.

In Melbourne, possible morning showers in your top of 15.

Brisbane, good morning to you.

Expect a mostly fine and sunny Friday and 22 is your forecast top.

And in Perth today, another sunny day and your top of 21 degrees.

Well, there's a number of critical factors to consider when buying property, and one misstep can cost you plenty of lost value.

And one of those critical decisions is around location.

A location can often form the true value down the road when you come to sell your property.

You can alter many things such as a room's configurations, the carpet, the paint colour,

the fitting and finishes, but you can never, never alter the location.

It's why most purchasers, when they start their search, start selecting a suburb to see if they can afford to buy into an area.

People can choose to compromise on a house for the sake of a location.

But what's the best way to find your ideal suburb?

Well, to help unpack this, Rich Harvey is here, Buyer's Advocate and CEO of propertybuyer.com.au.

And a very good morning, Rich.

Here we are on another Friday.

Came around lightning fast for me.

What about you?

Ready to rock and roll.

That's the spirit.
