Confirm what you are going to see
Save the listing and confirm that the advertised property is the one available for viewing. Ask whether the photos are current, when the home would be available, and who will meet you. Confirm the agent or owner's contact details through the contact method you already have. Make a list of the rooms, features, and equipment that matter to you.
Compare the photos with the rooms
Take time to walk through the whole property, including any outdoor area, storage, and parking space mentioned in the advert. Check which furniture and appliances would remain. Ask permission before taking your own photos, especially if someone is still living there. Note differences from the listing and ask for clarification rather than assuming that a missing item will be provided later.
Check the everyday functions
With permission, try taps, showers, lights, windows, doors, and any included air-conditioning units. Look for visible damp patches, leaks, damaged fittings, and areas that need cleaning or repair. Ask which issues will be addressed before handover and record the answer. A viewing can help you spot questions, but it does not replace a specialist inspection when the condition needs further assessment.
Make the monthly amount clear
Confirm whether the advertised rent is per month and whether it is in XCG or USD. Ask separately about electricity, water, internet, garden care, pool care, and any other recurring charges. Find out which services are included, shared, or arranged by the occupant. Request a written breakdown so you can compare properties using the same information rather than only the headline price.
Picture an ordinary day there
Consider your journey to work, shops, school, or other regular destinations. Ask about parking access, rubbish collection, guests, pets, and use of any shared spaces. Check the mobile reception in the rooms where you would spend time. If noise or traffic is important to you, ask whether another visit at a different time is possible. Avoid drawing conclusions about daily conditions from one short appointment.
Record the next steps
Before leaving, confirm whom to contact with follow-up questions and what information is still missing. Ask for the proposed rental terms and the planned handover date to review in your own time. Keep a record of agreed repairs, included items, and explanations about utilities. If something differs from the advertisement, request an updated description before making a decision.
A marketplace review checks the listing for moderation purposes. It does not confirm the property's condition or someone's authority to rent it out. Take time to clarify who you are dealing with and do not let pressure replace your own checks.
