Viewing a property is more than just walking through rooms. Knowing what to look for can save time and money.
1. Check the Basics
Look for damp, cracks, plumbing, insulation, and electrical fittings. Don’t hesitate to test taps, windows, and heating.
2. Observe the Layout
Will the space suit your lifestyle? Is the kitchen functional? Are bedrooms spacious enough?
3. Think Long-Term
Can you grow into the property? Will your furniture fit? Consider future needs as well as current ones.
4. Ask Questions
Inquire about neighbours, parking, energy bills, local schools, and upcoming area developments.
