Before You Buy a Home Check List - Downloadable and Free.

Buying a property is a big decision, and many of the things that affect warmth, energy efficiency and future maintenance are hidden from view.

Our Before You Buy a Home Checklist is a free, simple way to help you think through some of the key insulation and building-fabric questions before you commit to a purchase. Download a PDF at the end.

It covers areas such as:

  • EPC information
  • Cavity wall insulation
  • Loft insulation
  • Damp and mould
  • Cold rooms
  • Extensions
  • System-built or non-traditional construction
  • Previous insulation extraction
  • Guarantees and paperwork
  • Chimneys, fireplaces and ventilation

The checklist is designed to help you spot areas that may be worth asking more questions about or investigating further.

Completely free to use

There is no charge to complete the checklist.

You do not need to create an account, and we do not collect your personal information through the form.

Your answers are simply there to help you work through the property in a more structured way.

The checklist is not intended to replace a professional building survey, but it can help you identify questions that are easy to overlook during a viewing or purchase.
