Ask the Right Questions at a Flat Viewing

You're off to view a flat and the risk is being charmed by good light and fresh paint into ignoring the boiler. This gives you a practical checklist across condition, bills, the agreement and the area: boiler age, damp, what's included, what to ask the landlord. You walk in with the right questions instead of remembering them on the drive home.
