Photos give you a first impression; a viewing helps you picture everyday life in the home. Before you visit, list your budget, room requirements and essential features. Asking the same questions at each property makes comparison easier.
1. Daylight and orientation
Ask when each room receives sunlight. If possible, revisit the area at another time of day. Nearby buildings and the balcony’s position may affect your experience.
2. Usable space
Look at the shape of the rooms as well as the advertised floor area. Bring furniture measurements and consider how the layout fits your routine.
3. Maintenance
Check windows, doors, kitchen units and bathrooms. Ask about visible damp marks and past renovations. Request an independent professional assessment if you have technical concerns.
4. Shared spaces
View the entrance, stairs, lift and parking area. Ask how maintenance and shared facilities are managed.
5. Transport and surroundings
Assess the journey to work, schools and places you visit regularly. A map distance does not always reflect peak-hour travel time.
6. Regular costs
Ask about service charges and heating arrangements. Check the period covered by any figures and factor them into your monthly budget.
7. Keep your questions
Write down what you liked and what still needs clarification. Confirm listing details with your adviser. Contact Bölge Emlak to arrange a viewing of properties that interest you.
