What to Expect at a Property Viewing

Make the most of every viewing with the right questions and a clear checklist.

A property viewing is your chance to go beyond the photographs and get a real feel for the home. Going in prepared means you'll ask the right questions and notice things that photos don't show.

Questions to ask

How long has it been on the market? Why are the sellers moving? What's included in the sale? Has there been any structural work? These questions can reveal issues or opportunities that aren't obvious from a walk-around.

Use your senses

Look beyond the staging. Check for damp patches, sticking doors, signs of recent repainting that might be covering something. A quick look in the loft and at the boiler can tell you a lot. A survey will do the thorough work, but your eyes are your first filter.
