Property viewings can go surprisingly quickly. You walk through the rooms, look at the kitchen, check the garden and start imagining whether your furniture will fit. Before long, you're back outside trying to remember exactly what you saw.

When you find a property you want to buy, it is easy to assume that one thing matters above everything else: the price you offer. Price is important. But sellers are usually considering something else too: how likely is this buyer to actually complete the purchase?

When you're selling your home, few things generate as much curiosity as feedback from a viewing. Did they like it? Was there anything putting them off? Are they interested in making an offer?

Moving out of a rented property can become surprisingly busy. There are boxes to pack, utilities to organise, addresses to change and usually a new home demanding your attention too. But before handing the property back, it is worth giving yourself enough time to deal with the end of the tenancy properly.
