Questions to ask at a viewing

I'm a wannabe first time buyer with my first viewing tomorrow.
Any insider tips from MN about how to act/what to ask/what to notice?

How exciting!

Ask the agent or the vendors themselves -why are they moving? (they may not tell the truth but if it's for more room, maybe you would need that too? )

Look out for very new shiny paint - may be hiding something sinister

Don't be swayed by lifestyle -i.e. if it's a granny's house and you can't imagine yourself living surrounded by ornaments or if they have a baby and there is plastic crap everywhere. (massive generalisations obvsGrin)

St Kirstie of Allsop always suggests looking at ceilings to see how big a room will be once you have got rid of the current owner's furniture.

Have fun
