How to use it during a viewing

  • Mark each item YES, REVIEW, or NO.
  • Write one observable fact instead of relying on a general feeling.
  • Compare the same checklist across every shortlisted property.
  • Investigate any fixed, high-impact constraint before conditions are removed.

A decision aid, not an inspection

The guide does not replace a building inspection, legal advice, engineering, appraisal, financing, or medical advice.
