LegalAsk conveyancer
Ask which title, access, boundary, restriction, search and enquiry points require property-specific investigation.
SurveyAsk surveyor
Discuss the inspection level that fits the property's age, construction, condition and alterations.

Make it yours
Add a question
Add up to five property-specific prompts. They appear in “during the viewing” and are included in shared and PDF versions.
Route unresolved points to the right person
The agent or seller can provide facts and documents. Your conveyancer investigates title, searches, contracts and legal obligations. Your surveyor inspects condition within an agreed scope. Keep unanswered points visible until the appropriate person has addressed them.
Use this as preparation, not proof
A viewing cannot establish structural condition, legal title, safety or market value. Ask permission before testing anything, retain the source and date of important answers, and obtain property-specific professional advice before becoming legally committed.
The earlier viewing checklist and question-routing tool remain available for existing shared links. Reviewed 23 August 2026.
