During a house viewing, the following six areas are generally inspected:

  • Location and immediate surroundings

  • Property

  • Garden

  • Building

  • Interior spaces

  • Additional costs

As you can see, that is quite a lot. Consequently, you need to absorb and process a lot of information in a short amount of time. To ensure important questions do not get overlooked in the heat of the moment and you can neatly recap all points after the viewing, it is crucial that you note down each point during and immediately after the viewing. A viewing protocol is a valuable tool for proceeding in a structured manner. This is especially useful when you are viewing multiple purchase objects simultaneously, as it allows you to compare your written impressions directly afterwards.
