Buying · 2026-08-10 · 7 min read
Documents to ask for
Ask for the option to purchase, the flat's remaining lease, and confirmation of any outstanding debts or renovation disputes tied to the unit.
Physical checks
Visit at two different times. Check water pressure, look for damp along external walls, test every switch, and open all windows to hear the traffic you will live with.
Money checks
Confirm monthly service and conservancy charges, the balance of any housing loan, and the exact handover date so your own loan and renovation fit the timeline.
