Is there an easy checklist to go over?
Has anyone done this?
The house was lived in until September last year and has stood empty since.
Should I book a plumber and electrician to check everything?
The water has been turned off, but I'm not sure if the gas has been capped.
It's being sold by a third party so we won't have contact with the family who lived there before, and said third party is unlikely to know much.
I think I'm mainly asking how much of a nightmare it's going to be. I can work with the boiler not working, as long as the electricity works and I can use small electric heaters until it's fixed, but if both are off, I'm unsure what I will do.
We'll have a month before we have to vacate our rented property but ideally I'd like not to leave the move until the last minute.
What are your experiences of doing this?
