Property viewings are a vital opportunity for buyers to see a home with their own eyes.

But is it a good idea for parents to take young children to viewings?

Here’s a list of the advantages and disadvantages to help parents decide.

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘀

• You can observe how your kids respond to a property.
• If children are involved in the process, they’re more likely to feel optimistic about moving – thus helping to avoid moving-day tears.
• A seller with a strong emotional attachment to a property may wish to see it go to a family and look more favourably on your offer.

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀

• Your children could distract you or break or spill something.
• If your child is struggling with the idea of moving, they may find viewings unsettling.
• Your child may fall in love with a property you dislike and feel disappointed when you don’t buy it.

𝗦𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
Take children to second viewings so that they’re only seeing properties that are real contenders.
