What to look for when viewing a property

As you search for the perfect home, be aware of the important points to raise when viewing. It is best to prepare a list of questions to ensure you make an informed decision before purchasing.

Make a checklist when exploring the house, as this will be a long term investment for you;

• Ask the reason for the sale and the duration that the house has been on the market.
• Conduct your research of property values in the area and question the asking price.
• Be aware of the condition the house is being sold in, any maintenance or renovations needed, as well as any included or excluded items and fixtures.
• Inquire about the neighbourhood to know of the current conditions such as noise and upcoming infrastructure if any.
• Find out the occupation date as this could influence a quicker sale and a better offer.
