The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me prepare questions for a house viewing.

Property: [type, roughly]
Deal-breakers: [e.g. parking, stairs, noise, flooding]
Must-haves: [list]
I'm a: [first-time buyer / mover / investor]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A room-by-room viewing checklist.
2. Questions for the agent or seller.
3. Things to check outside and on the street.
4. Notes template to fill in before I leave.
5. What a surveyor is for later (one line).

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, figures or products. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. type, roughly: a short note you already have. e.g. parking, stairs, noise, flooding: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.

This does not give tax advice. The books stay in the accounting system.
