When your home is on the market, every viewing is an opportunity for a potential buyer to imagine themselves living there.

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?

When one tenancy ends, the natural priority for a landlord is often getting the property let again. An empty property isn't producing rent, so wanting to minimise the gap is understandable. But there is a difference between avoiding unnecessary delay and rushing the next tenancy.

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.
