House Hunting Checklist
When House Hunting it is worth spending time doing this as it will pay off later, time spent now will ensure you have the right property to live in. Not just the one that seemed ok at first glance. If you can, look at three properties, using this checklist as a guide. You can then make an informed choice. Before you go to look at the properties read though the checklist there may be things you want to add for yourself, there is space to do this at the end of the checklist.
It is vital that everyone who is going to share the property looks round and you all make the decision together, this save problems later i.e. who is having which bedroom.

A final word of warning don’t sign a contract till you are really sure, it’s too late once it is signed. It is no good then thinking I don’t really want to live here or with these people.
Sign in haste – suffer for a whole year!!!
