AI summary

Attending an open home is a great first step in your property search. Use the viewing to thoroughly inspect the property for potential issues. Check everything from water pressure and storage space to the condition of the exterior cladding and retaining walls.

Don't forget to assess the neighbourhood, including local amenities, transport options, and school zones.

If you like the property, Settled.govt.nz recommends doing more research and getting professional advice, like a property inspection report, before you make an offer.
