Space and surroundings
Consider the balance you want between interior space, outdoor access, views and shared facilities. Visit at different times, where possible, to get a feel for the setting.
Everyday practicalities
Ask about parking, building access, lifts and ongoing service arrangements. Find out how shared spaces are managed and which responsibilities sit with residents.
Choose around your priorities
Write down what is essential and what is flexible. Comparing developments against the same priorities makes differences easier to understand.
