    When You Are Viewing A Property Ask These Questions

    By Harvey Raybould | Buying and Owning Property | 0 comment | 4 October, 2018 | 0

    questions to ask when viewing a propertyWhen you are looking to buy a new home you will probably view a number of different properties. When you discover properties that you like you need to be sure that they have the potential to be your dream home. How do you arrive at this decision? You need to ask the current property owners the right questions.

    Buying a property is an expensive business so you should never be shy of asking the vendor important questions that will enable you to make the best purchasing decision. Your new home will be one of the most important things in your life so we have compiled a list of 8 questions that you need to ask property sellers.

    What is the Reason they are Selling the Property?

    This is an obvious question and you will not always get an honest answer. If the property seller is having problems with their neighbours then they are unlikely to tell you that. But most people will answer this honestly and tell you that they have outgrown the property or whatever the real reason is.

    How Good is the Public Transport?

    Not everyone drives everywhere and it is important to establish what public transport facilities exist and how good they are. If you have to commute into the city what are the train services like? If the seller cannot tell you the answer then you need to find out by some other means.

    How long has the Property been on the Market?

    If the seller tells you that the property has been on the market for a long time then it is not the end of the world. If you like the property you just need to dig deeper to find out why. When a property has been on the market for a while the vendor is going to be more receptive to a lower offer so this could be a good opportunity for you.

    Have you had any Problems in the area?

    Ask the vendor if there have been any disturbances in the area where the property is located. Have they had any disputes with their neighbours? Again you are relying on the honesty of the seller here. Go online and check the crime statistics for the area.

    What will be included in the Sale?

    Quite often a vendor will be willing to leave certain items behind as part of the deal. This can include furniture, curtains and carpets and various appliances. It is important that you know what the vendor will leave behind so that you can assess if these hold any value for you or not.

    What have you enjoyed the most about living here?

    This is a question that almost nobody asks when they are buying a property. If the seller is willing to share their experiences with you it will be easier for you to visiualise living in the property.

    How fast is the Internet Access?

    Everyone has Internet access these days and in some locations it is not possible to obtain the fastest Internet speeds for various reasons. If fast Internet access is important to you then you must ask this question.

    Is the Property Insulated?

    Find out if the property has been properly insulated and when this was done. You can also ask about the average cost of heating the property and the average cost of utilities such as gas and electric bills.
