A first viewing is easier when you arrive with a short list of questions and a way to record the answers. You do not need to inspect every technical detail yourself.
What to consider
Bring your room measurements, a tape measure and a note of furniture you intend to keep. Ask permission before taking photographs. Record what is included in the sale and which answers need confirmation, particularly parking, tenure and work carried out.
Leave with a usable record
After the appointment, note the facts you confirmed, the features you liked and the questions still open. Keep those categories separate so enthusiasm does not turn an assumption into a fact. Ask the agent for clarification while the visit is fresh in your mind. Where the answer requires legal or technical expertise, record who should investigate it. A useful viewing moves you towards a decision; it should not simply add another set of photographs to an unstructured collection.
Your next step
Write your notes immediately afterwards. Keep facts separate from first impressions so an attractive kitchen does not erase an unanswered practical question.
