First time buyer - house viewing

[Keawyeds]

Im viewing a house tomorrow, and probably a number of others in the coming weeks. What sort of things do I need to be asking the owners/what should I look out for?

Obviously things like; has anyone been murdered here? Is it haunted? Do the neighbours buck really loudly every night? (It’s a terraced house) Etc’ etc’.

Is it on Rightmove? Hoy up the link

If it’s as nice as the pictures look I will make an offer. Assuming the street isn’t full of ronkers as well.

Only advice I can give is to get a full building survey done if it’s an older house.

I could see you becoming a vast slob like.

I just think the smell would get on my wick.

In my experience any questions you have won't be able to be answered at the initial viewing. I had all sorts of shite prepared asking about boiler certificates and if there was a garden asking about Japanese knot weed and whatnot - all a total waste of time.

Draw up a shortlist of the places you liked and then it's a process of elimination once you've been for a second viewing and find out about all the problems they might have.

Don’t do that. @Frijj will be putting fake offers in to bump up the price.

No. Because Moneytassle will buy it outright from under my nose to let out at a ridiculous rate.

Supply and demand, marra.

Go on then. DM a link. I'll not buy it. I have a baby and am therefore financially Nestlé Fisted

Absolutely not, you creepy old slut.

I'm very judgemental too if it helps

Has he never moved? Not sure why he would tbh given he lives in Herrington.

It appears he has.

Strange this like. Almost as if people are wanting to make a mountain out of a molehill.

I just @Mackem00 could offer the OP his wisdom and that you know

Make sure you get yourself a mortgage broker as well, you don't want to give yourself more work to do trailing around looking at mortgages. Brokers can get you a better deal anyway.

Just do what me and our lass did and buy the first one you view. Saves any hassle.

If the estate agent or seller can't answer basic chit like this they don't deserve the deal.
