What questions to ask before viewing a house?

When you’re looking to view a house, it’s important to ask the real estate agent or the owner questions to get a sense of the property and to help you determine whether it’s the right fit for you.

Here are a few questions we usually ask the agency or the owner before viewing a house:

  1. What are the main features of the property?
  2. How long has the property been on the market?
  3. Are there any major repairs or renovations that have been done to the property recently?
  4. Is the property currently occupied?
  5. Are there any disclosures or reports available for the property?
  6. Are there any restrictions on the property (e.g., zoning, easements, etc.)?
  7. Are there any other unique features of the property that are not listed in the listing?
  8. Are there any future developments planned for the area that could affect the property?
  9. Is there any history about the property, such as a previous owner or any event that took place on the property?
  10. Are there any warranties or guarantees that come with the property?

It’s also important to remember to ask any other questions you may have, even if they don’t seem as important or you think they might be a silly question. The more you know about the property, the better equipped you’ll be to make a decision.
