Send the viewing brief in advance
Give Alperen the property reference and the questions that would change your decision. Ask for a live call rather than relying only on edited footage. Agree a suitable time and a route through the property. Where possible, compare natural light at the time you would actually use the main rooms. Connectivity and access can affect the call, so request a follow-up for any part that could not be shown.
Start outside the front door
Ask to see the approach, building entrance, stairs or lift, parking arrangements and common areas. A camera can show the route but cannot certify access rights or building condition. Ask the person filming to pause and describe background noise. Do not infer walking distance from a straight-line map measurement; check the actual route relevant to you.
Follow one continuous route indoors
Start at the entrance and move through each room so the layout is understandable. Ask to see window views, storage and visible finishes, and identify which furniture is included. A video call cannot reliably diagnose structural issues, hidden damp, faulty installations or legal alterations. Record those limits in your notes. Do not request a call recording without discussing the privacy of everyone involved.
Turn the call into a documented next step
End with a written list of what was seen, what remains unverified and which documents are needed. A useful next step may be another viewing, an independent inspection or professional document review. It is not necessarily a payment. Keep financial instructions separate from casual messaging and verify the recipient independently before any transfer. WestHome offers remote coordination, not a digital checkout that transfers ownership.
General information, not a property-specific professional opinion. Verify current requirements with an appropriately qualified independent adviser before committing.
