Tips For Buyers

 

• Check that all lights and electronics (check all power points and lights are in working order). I suggest taking a phone charger to check all the plugs. If plugs or lights aren’t working get the owner to fix these sometimes it’s not the bulb but the connection which should be at the vendors cost to fix as covered off in the contract

• Turn on the heated towel rail at the beginning of the inspection to check it is working

• Make sure the hot water cylinder is switched on so you can test the hot water is working

• Test air conditioners and heaters are in working order and confirm remotes will be available

• Make sure there are keys for external doors with locks

• Check all appliances are all in working order (test these don’t assume they are working, check for yourself) eg lights on rangehood are working  and rangehood is working, dishwasher working, oven and all the elements on the stove are all in working order.

• If there is an HRV system check it is in working order and switch on unless it is being sold as is where is.
