A site visit should help you verify your shortlist. The best visits are designed around a few important questions and leave you with comparable notes rather than vague impressions.
Before leaving home
Confirm the exact meeting point, whether the property is occupied, available viewing hours and the person authorised to provide access. Carry your shortlist and a note of budget, parking requirements, minimum room sizes and any access needs.
During the tour
Look at the property's daylight, ventilation, common areas and views. Ask about water pressure, maintenance, parking, noise and building services. Check whether the stated area means built-up, super built-up or another measurement basis; do not compare unlike measures as if they were identical.
Documentation questions
Ask what documents are available to support ownership, approvals and any RERA registration requirement. A short viewing rarely provides enough time for complete verification, so keep a separate documentary review stage before any major commitment.
Photograph with permission
Respect the current occupants and their privacy. Where photographs are allowed, capture practical details such as storage, fittings and utility points. Do not publicly share images or personal details without permission.
After the visit
Score the property against your criteria while memories are fresh. A trusted independent advisor can arrange another look, explain alternatives and coordinate the next steps without pushing you to decide on the spot.
