It is easy to focus on finishes and furniture during a viewing. A short list of practical questions helps buyers compare homes on the things that matter after moving in.
What to consider
Ask about the age and maintenance of the roof, plumbing, electrical systems and major appliances included in the sale. Find out which fixtures stay, what the average municipal costs look like, and whether there have been recurring leaks, damp or insurance claims. Answers should be verified where material.
A practical checklist
Look at natural light, ventilation, storage, noise, parking, drainage and mobile connectivity. Ask about approved plans for additions, estate or body corporate rules, and any known work planned for the building or area. Arrange a second visit at a different time if traffic, noise or sunlight may affect your decision.
The takeaway
Use the viewing to build a list of items to verify. A friendly answer is useful, but documents and independent checks are better evidence.
