• If you are keen on a property go back at different times of the day or evening to see how noisy/busy it gets.
• Take measurements of your favourite furniture to see how it might fit in.
• Have the electrics and gas checks been done recently?
• Are there any signs of damp? If so, are there are any guarantees.
• Is the building in a conversation area or listed building as this might restrict any further alterations to the building?
• If viewing a flat does the building look well maintained?

• How long has the property been on the market and how quickly would the vendor like to sell?
• What fixtures and fittings are included?
• Try to speak to neighbours about the area
• Check to see where the local shops and schools are
