What should you be looking out for at an open home
* Does everything open & shut?
* Do doors close smoothly or do they stick?
* Do lights turn on & off without flickering?
* Do taps work & is water flow adequate
* Are there signs of water damage (i.e. peeling or bubbled paint work, mould,
stained ceilings)?
* Do the floors slope or bounce? This may mean piles need replacing.
* Are there cracks in the walls, which could be an indication of subsidence?
* Is there any fretting (cracked) brickwork that could indicate major structural
problems?
* Don’t forget to walk around the outside of the home to check fences and the
condition of the building’s exterior including gutters and downpipes.
