What does an estate agent mean when they say block viewings?

 

At Dream Castle we appreciate that not everyone will understand the terms that some estate agents use. For this reason we will explain within this article what the term block viewings actually means.

 

What does a block viewing mean?

 

Estate agent’s normally use block viewings as a way to speed up a properties sale. For example it can be a great way of showing people around a property in a short amount of time.

 

So say for example you are looking to sell your Cardiff Bay flat quickly, an estate agent within Cardiff may advise that to speed up the process a block viewing date is arranged.

 

Sometimes block viewings are referred to as open days, this can be a great way of showing your property to a lot of people.

 

Plus block viewings or open day’s can be used on any type of property.  That is you may wish to sell your house, bungalow, flat or apartment by arranging a block viewing day.

 

 

Why are these sometimes used especially by Dream Castles customers?

 

Block viewings are especially used by Dream Castle customers because our property website allows users to market their own property. This means that the seller may wish to state a block viewing day, this is so that all property viewings are all handled on one day, or a number of days.

 

Can this save time?

 

This can save considerable amounts of time, this is because instead of possibly going back and fore a property or waiting for someone to come and visit your home you can arrange for block viewings.

 

An open day works in very much the same way. That is you set a date for potential buyers to visit your property.

 

The buyers may then correspond either through Dream Castle or with you directly.

 

 

When would a block viewing not be suitable?

 

A block viewing may not be suitable if you don’t want people walking around your house without an estate agent.

 

Block viewings and open days are typically only used when a house is vacant and there is little in the way of personal items owned by the personal owners.  That’s to say normally the only thing remaining within a property is sometimes just the carpets.
