French property buyers can save time and energy by doing certain checks when they first visit a home. These checks do not eliminate the need for a professional inspection but they can at least help you better understand the general overall condition of the home.
One
Check under the sinks for the plumbing system to see if there are any leaks or evidence of poor quality repair work.
Two
Flush the toilets to see if they work and that the water stops once the tank is full.
Three
Check the water taps, all of them, to see if any are leaking, dripping, if they are it can indicate poor maintenance of the home.
Four
Check all the doors and windows open and close correctly. Check the shutters as well.
