Home buyer's checklist

Ask the right questions with our viewing checklist

Take our handy Home buyer's checklist with you when you view a property as a reminder of what to look for when buying a new home.

Asking the right questions before you buy can improve your bargaining position when you put in an offer on a property. It can also give you a better idea of any work you may need to do when you move into your new home, which can help you avoid emergency repair bills for unexpected problems.

The Home buyer's checklist provides practical advice on what to look for in the following key areas:

  • central heating and radiators
  • electrics and alarms
  • windows and doors
  • household pests
  • roof and loft
  • drains
  • damp
