What to Look for During a Property Viewing?
Walking into a potential new home can be exciting—but don’t let the charm fool you. A property viewing is your golden opportunity to spot issues before making a major decision. At MyOwnMove, we help you view homes with clarity, not just curiosity.
First Impressions Count
Before you step inside, take a moment. How’s the curb appeal? Is the neighborhood quiet and clean? That gut feeling you get? It’s more important than you think.
Once inside, look past the furniture. Check for:
-
Cracks in walls or ceilings
-
Musty smells (a sign of damp)
-
Sticky doors or windows
-
Signs of wear and neglect
Inspect Plumbing & Electrics
Run taps, flush toilets, and test light switches. Low water pressure or flickering lights could mean hidden problems—and future expenses.
Roof, Windows & Doors
Look for drafty windows, creaky doors, or signs of roof damage. These can all be costly to repair later.
Layout & Space
Does the space work for your lifestyle? Think long-term—storage, natural light, and overall flow are key.
Ask Questions
How old is the boiler? Any recent repairs? What’s the neighborhood like at night? Don’t be shy—every answer helps you make a smarter choice.
Pro Tip from MyOwnMove: Always take notes or photos (with permission). Details blur after a few viewings.
Final Thoughts
Finding the right home takes more than a quick glance. Keep your eyes open, take your time, and trust your instincts. And when you need guidance, MyOwnMove is here to walk with you—every step of the way.
