Most buyers fall for a house on the first visit and then spend the next three months finding out about it. A focused second viewing saves a lot of that time.
Inside
- Run the taps and shower upstairs at the same time
- Open every window and check the frames
- Look inside cupboards for damp or recent paint
- Check phone signal in each room
- Ask what stays: curtains, appliances, light fittings
Outside
- Stand in the garden at the time you would use it
- Walk to the nearest shop and the station
- Look at the roof line and gutters from the street
- Note where the sun is and which rooms it reaches
- Listen: traffic, trains, a school playground
Bring a tape measure and the floor plan. Your agent can arrange a second visit at a different time of day if that helps.
