Property Viewing Checklist

Property Viewing Checklist

Never miss a red flag again. Your essential companion for every property viewing.

What It Is

A comprehensive PDF checklist designed specifically for Irish first-time buyers. This printable guide walks you through every step of the property viewing process—from preparation to final decision—with a proven scoring system that helps you compare properties objectively.

What's Inside

Before You View - Pre-viewing preparation checklist including BER certificate review, Google Street View reconnaissance, and what to bring

Property Inspection Sections:

  • Exterior (roof, walls, windows, drainage)

  • Every Room (damp, cracks, floors, natural light, storage)

  • Kitchen (appliances, cabinets, water pressure, leaks)

  • Bathrooms (showers, toilets, grout, ceiling stains)

  • Systems (boiler, radiators, hot water, attic)

Scoring System - Rate each item from 1 (Poor) to 5 (Excellent), calculate section averages, then combine for an overall property score out of 5. Perfect for comparing multiple properties side-by-side.

Post-Viewing Action Plan - Reminders to review notes within 24 hours and book second viewings

Why You Need This

Stop relying on gut feel alone. When you're viewing 5, 10, or 15 properties, they all start to blur together. This checklist gives you:

✓ A consistent framework for every viewing
✓ Objective scores you can compare across properties
✓ Written evidence of red flags you might forget later
✓ Talking points for second viewings and surveys
✓ Protection against high-pressure sales tactics
