Inspect the home, building and surrounding streets before deciding.

Inside the apartment

Inspect finishes, windows, plumbing and air conditioning. Photograph any issues and establish who will resolve them and by when.

Shared facilities

Check the entrance, lifts, parking and communal areas. Ask about access to amenities and the building's maintenance arrangements.

Around the building

Check local noise, nearby construction and access to the property. Assess the outlook from the actual apartment and potential changes around it.

Before making a decision

Request the documents and a complete breakdown of charges. Where needed, appoint a relevant professional to review the specific transaction.
