The estate agent works for the seller. But the agent must give buyers correct information. Ask good questions.
About the sale
- How many people have shown interest?
- When does the bidding start, and how does it work?
- Does the seller have a date in mind for the sale?
About the home
- Why are the owners selling?
- Are there known problems?
- What renovations have been done, and when?
About the building or the house
- For a flat: are there planned repairs in the building? Is the fee going to change?
- For a house: how old is the roof, the heating system and the drains?
About the area
- Are there building plans nearby?
- What have similar homes sold for lately?
