My partner and I are going to see an estate agent tomorrow to put a booking deposit on a three-bed semi-d in a new development. We're quite in the dark about the property as we're buying off-plans and there isn't a show-house yet! The plans look nice - pretty standard layout - and the first phase of the development looks great. But we want to find out as much information as possible so that we know how much we're going to have to do to the place once it's finished.
We'll have six or seven months to save up for fitting the place out and while we don't mind eating off our knees while sitting on someone's second-hand couch, it's a very different story when it comes to washing-machines and flooring! So we want to know what we'll have to pay for ourselves.
We're making a list of questions to ask her about what's included in the price and so on. We don't want to make assumptions and find out that we were wrong (e.g. the brochure says "fitted kitchen as per showhouse" which I originally thought meant appliances were included but this probably isn't the case!)
We'd appreciate any suggestions about what we need to ask.
Thanks for your help!
