ORGANISE THE VIEWING

Apartment viewing authorisation: define the scope clearly.

When another person attends the appointment, identity, scope, permitted actions and contact channels should be clearly agreed in advance.

WHAT MATTERS

Prepare, attend and evaluate the appointment clearly

A viewing is more than a quick walk-through. Questions, priorities, photo or video permissions and the required scope should be agreed before the appointment. This makes impressions easier to compare and open points easier to follow up.

A viewing representative is not automatically authorised to sign contracts or make binding declarations. The exact scope should therefore be recorded in writing and communicated to the contact in good time.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

apartment viewing authorisation: key questions answered

Is written authorisation always required?

It depends on the contact and scope. Written clarification nevertheless creates transparency.

May the representative sign the lease?

Only with sufficient explicit authority. Viewing authorisation alone does not automatically cover signing.

Should the property manager be informed in advance?

Yes. The person attending should be confirmed before the appointment.
