Viewing

Potential buyers can book viewings of properties they’re interested in through estate agents.

‘Open’ viewings also take place in some cases, particularly for properties where a large amount of buyer interest is expected.

Agents will gather information on a buyer during a viewing, assessing their initial interest in the property and their ability to proceed.
