Just curious
How many times, if any, did you view the house you were buying after your offer was accepted?

Once when we were fairly close to exchange. We wanted to measure up for a couple of things and I think it’s helpful to refresh your memory on somewhere but I don’t really think more than once would be necessary.1

Electricity: 3kw south facing solar array, EV, Octopus intelligent1 -

None..it was a new-build 100 miles away. The carpet fitters saw it next....
#2 Saving for Christmas 2024 - £1 a day challenge. £325 of £3660 -
1st house - none, but walked past it with my girlfriend once.
2nd house - once - again, walked past with my GF but were spotted by the vendor and invited in.
When selling 1st house, my buyer (a wannabe BTL landlord) must have had at least 5 different viewings with a whole host of characters, including one bloke who seems to manage Airb'n'b rentals, and who posted a 5 minute video tour of the place on Instagram of how he was going to redecorate it to make it suitable for short term lets! Luckily I only found out about that a couple of months after moving out, as my goodwill was getting a little thin towards the end of the sale process...1 -
Intresting
I'm a FTB. Had no intention of viewing before completion but a colleague advised viewing between exchange and completion.
Have to get drains looked at so was going to go in with the tradesman and measure a few things. Will make it more worth while for EA to drive out as property in the country.
