It\u2019s always an exciting time when you think that you\u2019ve found a rental in Qatar<\/strong><\/a> that you\u2019re ready to move into. More often than not, we end up overlooking a number of things because we want to get the process over with and start moving in. But here are a number of things you should never overlook at a viewing.<\/p>\n

1. Mobile and Internet Connection Strength:
\n\"\"<\/em><\/strong>
\nNothing can ruin moving into a new home than the realization that the internet connection or your cell phone signal is weak! Try making a few calls, and connect to the internet (if possible) so you can know what you\u2019re working with.<\/p>\n

2. Neighbors:<\/strong>
\nBe it a building or compound, you\u2019re going to have neighbors. So, take a quick look around, notice noise levels, the conditions of the buildings, store rooms, and even the shared facilities and amenities. Aim at doing this twice \u2013 during the day and at night, so you can gauge the overall atmosphere.<\/p>\n

3. Parking:
\n\"\"<\/em><\/strong>
\nCheck the parking situation. How many spots will you get? Is the area clean? Make sure that you have the parking arrangement as part of your contract agreement, as to avoid future disputes.<\/p>\n

4. Maintenance:<\/strong>
\nMake sure that you understand what is include when it comes to maintenance, and what will be your responsibility . If possible, ask to speak to the building manager or the maintenance team, and get a feel of who you could be dealing with in the future<\/p>\n

5. Water pressure and temperature:
\n\"\"<\/em><\/strong>
\nTurn on the kitchen and bathroom faucets for a quick temperature and pressure test of the water. Check with the building manager about the hot\/cold water situation, as it could be a major annoyance, just like low water pressure.<\/p>\n

6. Check for dampness:<\/strong>
\nWith the humid weather, dampness in homes is not a rarity. So, make sure that you check for any signs of dampness in the unit. These could include: a moldy smell, bubbling paint or even peeling wallpaper.<\/p>\n

7. The community:
\n\"\"<\/em><\/strong>
\nHow is the general area? Is suitable for what you\u2019re looking for? Take a quick walk around the neighborhood and find out for yourself<\/p>\n

*Expert Tip:<\/strong>
\nAlways take someone with you when viewing a property! The more eyes, the better.<\/p>\n
