A checklist is definitely useful before buying a property, but many buyers also forget to visit the location at different times of the day. Traffic, water availability, noise levels, drainage, and even mobile network quality can be very different from what you see during a single site visit. These practical checks can make a big difference before making such a long-term investment.
