Viewing Properties

When you've decided which properties you would like to visit, contact the estate agent responsible for the sale to arrange a viewing.

To make sure you don't miss anything this handy checklist can be printed out to take along with you on your viewing.

Always take a friend or member of the family along, for added safety and to have that all-important second opinion. Also try to view your prospective home during the day and at night. But don't worry if you miss anything - you'll be able to arrange for the property to be surveyed by an expert when you find the house you really want.

Google Maps is useful - you can find aerial photos of the location you're interested in.

Once you have found your dream home, you are ready to make an offer.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage
