Before You Offer – UK Homebuyer Red Flag Checker & Viewing Guide

Buying a home? Give it a calm second look before you make an offer.

Before You Offer is a practical UK homebuyer toolkit designed to help you identify unanswered questions, organise concerns and decide what needs checking with the estate agent, surveyor or solicitor.

The download includes:

• An editable Excel red-flag checker

• 42 weighted questions covering tenure, planning, alterations, surroundings, building condition, services, energy and costs

• Automatic attention scoring

• Clear, Check, Concern, Unknown and N/A responses

• A priority-question organiser

• A seven-page printable PDF viewing guide

• Dedicated space for notes and evidence

It does not attempt to diagnose defects or replace professional advice. Instead, it helps you notice assumptions and turn them into useful questions before committing yourself.

Suitable for first-time buyers, movers and anyone comparing a prospective home more carefully.

Designed primarily for buyers in England and Wales. Some principles also apply elsewhere in the UK, but property systems and public records differ.
