going to view house i bought

Hi

I bought a house a few months....sale still dragging on. But I asked to go round to see if I could meet vendors to show me how some of things worked e.g. heating, timing boiler. Is there anything else I should be asking on specifics when I go round there.

I will be measuring up for new furniture too...

    My vendor showed me the layout of where the pipes to/from rads ran up inside the walls, where the drains ran, where manhole was under the patio.
    I just took a notebook as he told me quirks of the boiler, etc

    just clarify what you mean you 'bought' it? Have you exchanged contracts? or have you only had an offer accepted?

    If you have not exchanged I wouldn't commit to ordering any new furniture or anything like that.
