PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

Apart from the last house (which is still under offer) I have always been present at viewings. When I go looking I like the first viewing to be with an EA (without Vendors present) so I can openly talk to DH on our 'wander round EAless' about what we could do where, and then on the second viewing I like the vendor to be there to ask questions on aspects of the property I have queries on.Grab life by the balls before it grabs you by the neck.0

Even just renting, I understand the discomfort someone can cause when viewing a house. We viewed our current property when an elderly man and woman were sitting in the lounge watching TV. We poked our head in, and they looked up, and we felt uncomfortable. We had to speak in hushed voices, and looking around their bedroom felt particularly uncomfortable knowing they were downstairs.0

Three rooms were out of bounds due to surly sleeping teenagers who refused to unlock the door to their mum :eek:.
There would never be a lock on the door, and the teenager would return to a room as bare as a cell and on bare rations.
They can have as many locks as they want when it's their house.Stop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.
Actively hunting down the person who invented the imaginary tenure, "share freehold"; if you can show me one I will produce my daughter's unicorn0
