The ultimate Tricity flat-buying checklist

Compare flats using facts—not first impressions—with a checklist that protects your purchase.

Before you visit

• Set an all-in budget including registration, maintenance, parking, interiors and loan costs.
• Choose three non-negotiables: location, size, floor, school access, age or amenities.
• Research the project and surrounding road access first.

At the property

• Check light, ventilation, noise, mobile signal and water pressure.
• Distinguish carpet area from super built-up area.
• Inspect lifts, parking, security, backup and waste management.

Before booking

Have a lawyer review documents, read possession and payment terms, and get promised features and charges in writing. Speak to a resident when possible.
