It helps to gather basic information about a property before you view it. This saves time and reveals questions that need documents or specialist help. Attractive photos and a price are only the beginning.
What exactly is being sold?
Confirm the address, floor area, floor, layout, and legal status of the property. Compare the advert with the documents provided by the seller. For a property under construction, ask about the stage of work, handover date, and what will be completed at handover.
Who is selling it, and with what authority?
Ask who owns or represents the property and what authority they have to sell it. A specific transaction calls for an up-to-date registry extract and other documents relevant to the property. An independent real estate lawyer can help examine restrictions, obligations, and contract language.
What is included in the price?
Clarify whether furniture, appliances, and finishes are included. Ask about additional costs such as building maintenance, parking, repairs, connections, and registration. Compare properties by the full cost of ownership, not just the advertised price.
How is the building maintained?
Inspect shared areas, the lift, and building systems. Find out how maintenance is organized and whether any works are planned. During the viewing, look at lighting, ventilation, signs of damp, and noise levels.
When should you pay?
Do not pay a deposit until the refund terms, documents, and transaction process are clear. Put agreements about price, timing, and what is included in writing. Before signing or paying, review current documents with an independent specialist.
Once you know your criteria, you can compare available properties on HomeRadar, then check each shortlisted property and its transaction terms separately.
