House Viewing Checklist and Review
This comprehensive house viewing checklist helps buyers and renters evaluate a property's condition and suitability. Plan your visit with pre-inspection details like address, price, last sold year, council tax band and EPC rating. On-site, assess exterior and location, roof, brickwork, doors, gardens and security. Check utilities, boiler, meters, certificates and broadband. Inspect each room, kitchen and bathroom for electrics, damp, water pressure and privacy. Add photos, rate value for money and record agent Q&A before making an offer.
