Before the viewing

Bring a clear brief.

Write down what you need from a home and what would simply be nice to have. Bedrooms, storage, accessibility, travel time and budget are useful starting points.

Notice the practical details.

Check storage, room proportions and the spaces where you spend most of your time. Ask about maintenance arrangements, parking, utilities and any information that is not clear in the listing.

Take time to compare.

Keep notes and use the comparison tool to review the homes you have seen. Confirm property-specific information with the listing advisor before making a decision.
