ORGANISE THE VIEWING

Apartment viewing tips for a clear and efficient appointment.

Good preparation helps assess condition, location, cost and everyday suitability instead of relying only on the first impression.

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.

The listing, floor plan and open questions should be reviewed before the appointment. A consistent order helps during the viewing. Impressions should be recorded immediately afterwards while details are still fresh.

PRACTICAL CHECKLIST
  • Notice daylight, noise and odours deliberately
  • Inspect visible windows, floors, kitchen and bathroom
  • Ask about service charges, heating and ancillary rooms
