Questions to Ask at a London Property Viewing

At a London property viewing, the right questions can save you stress later.

Ask:

• What is included in the rent?
• Who manages the property?
• How is maintenance handled?
• How much is the deposit?
• When is the property available?
• Why are the current tenants leaving?
• What is the council tax band?
• Are there known issues with damp, heating or noise?
• Are pets allowed?
• Is the furniture staying?
• What type of tenancy is offered, and what notice rules apply?
• What references are required?

Also ask yourself questions:

• Can I picture my daily routine here?
• Does the commute work?
• Is there enough storage?
• Does the area feel right?
• Am I being rushed into ignoring something?

Viewings can feel emotional, especially if you are under time pressure. Keep a simple checklist and take notes immediately afterwards.

The best property is not just the one that looks good. It is the one that works for your life.
