Before you make an offer
One decision at a time, before you pay a deposit. The listing is only the start. This checklist brings together the documentary, financial and technical checks that are normally scattered across several sites and conversations.
Start with the property you are considering. Paste the listing to put this checklist beside the observed price, buying costs and official local context.
