Final property viewing before exchange: what should we ask the vendors?

[ErlingHaalandsManBun]

DH and I are going to view the property we are buying one last time before exchange of contracts. Its more just to refresh our memories over one or two things but we want to make sure we ask any questions about the house while we have the vendors there to ask face to face.

What kind of things do we need to ask our vendors?
What kind of things should we be looking at?

We have thought about things such as how the cooker/heating works, what day is bin day, and taking a mental note of where the power points and plug sockets are in each room.

Anything we are missing?

What things would you want to know before you moved in?

I asked them to show me any quirks about the house and they showed me the hive heating buttons and where the override switches for the built in appliances as they were hidden away.

I did check the heating worked but it was winter so that was easier.

We also verbally agreed a couple of small value items they could leave that weren't on the fixtures forms, things like TV brackets that they would remove unless we wanted them.

It was good to meet them actually. We had an easy process overall.

I’ve done most of the above even before I’ve offered! I’ve asked about the garden, the sun, the neighbours, whether the loft can be boarded out or not and whether the TV is wired up to only receive signal through a satellite dish as they’ve placed the TV on the wall with all the cabling hidden. I don’t want any hidden surprises where to get normal free view TV we have to chase out walls for more cabling.
Im still waiting on answers for some of the above before I’ll make an offer. That way I’m happy that we won’t need to mess them around in the future.

When I sold my house in March this year - my buyers had 5 viewings over 6 months. Towards the end I must admit I had enough!

Two, back to back on consecutive days, back when we first offered last October. We are relocating, hence the two viewings close together while we were in the area.

Todays was our 3rd and final one.
