Tell us: did you buy a house without viewing it first?

During the pandemic, house viewings were temporarily postponed – but some prospective buyers went ahead with their plans

Most people would never have dreamed of buying a property without viewing it at least once – until lockdown. During the pandemic, house viewings were temporarily postponed – but some prospective buyers decided to go ahead with their plans all the same, moving into homes they had never seen until they became the owners.

A few years on, we’re keen to hear from those who bought their house sight unseen, during lockdown. Are you happy with your purchase, or do you have regrets? How did buying a property, without seeing it first, impact decisions about where you wanted to live and how much you were willing to pay?
