Before putting pen to paper, it’s wise to conduct some research on the area you wish to purchase in, regardless if you’ve living in Gorbals your whole life, as every street is different.
To get a feel for a Gorbals house you’re looking to purchase, it’s recommended to spend a minimum of 30 minutes viewing.
Because of the high demand for housing in Glasgow City, viewing appointments may be limited. Schedule your Gorbals house viewings when you’re well-slept and off work.
Thoroughly inspect the Gorbals house exterior by walking around. Inspect the roof for loose or missing tiles, damaged guttering, and wet, hairline cracks in the walls.
It is not required that the Gorbals seller disclose any defects. They can attempt to conceal them. Some common examples of cover-ups include painting over damp mould or using furniture or rugs to hide holes in the wall or floor.
Viewing a Gorbals house multiple times is still recommended, even in a market where properties are selling quickly, so you can catch and resolve issues.

For first-time Scotland buyers, the government will match 25% of their savings (up to £1,000 per year) if they put money into a lifetime ISA.
Mortgage companies often ask for a “valuation survey,” which is distinct from a home inspection in that it does not assess the Gorbals property’s current condition. Even if you pay for a valuation survey, you might not see the results; the survey verifies the Gorbals property’s approximate value for the lender.
