Definnately go, check everything again. Turn on all lights and taps. get boiler fired up, open and shut windows etc etc.
You are spending a lot of money, do what makes you content.0 -
Massive purchase, go as many as you need.I don't respond to stupid so that's why I am ignoring you.

Folk are funny. We did lots of views before and after exchange without problem, as the place was empty and the agent had keys; and just as well, because on visit 5 or 6 we discovered a significant plumbing leak which the vendor had to pay to fix...
But we know someone who got so irritated by the buyer's request to re-visit (she lived there) that she put her foot down... and the buyer walked away. So she lost the sale (which I suspect she was in two minds over anyway!)0 -
There's nothing wrong with needing another look around, with a tape measure, but it is still their house, so a dab of courtesy will smooth the whole thing.
Someone coming for a seventh look & I'd be telling the estate agent to handle it (& just cope with the state of the family house) by visit 2. I do not now & have not ever lived in a showhome!0
