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.

Receiving an offer on your home is an exciting moment. After preparing your property, launching it to the market and welcoming potential buyers through the door, somebody has decided they'd like to make it their home.

What buyers should look at beyond a London flat’s asking price, including service charges, lease details, building insurance and block management.

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.
