Viewing day app
How to use this on a real French viewing weekend.
Imagine you are seeing four houses between Friday afternoon and Sunday morning. By the third viewing the kitchens, gardens, lanes and roof worries start to merge. This routine keeps every property separate without turning the viewing into admin.
Before you leave
Open the scorecard for each house, paste the advert link, then paste the listing text. Check the detected price, surface, rooms, bedrooms, land, DPE, heating, property type and agency reference before the trip starts.
Check local life
Do this before you leave, using the listing location to find local shops, pharmacy, doctors, transport and services. Treat the lookup as a living prompt: confirm anything important by hand if public data looks thin.
When you arrive
First photo: take the front entrance or main facade before going inside. This becomes the comparison thumbnail later.
Then add a quick note about the road, access, parking, neighbours, noise and whether the first impression matches the advert.
Walk the route
Use Viewing Mode as you move through Front entrance, Exterior, Main rooms, Bedrooms, Bathrooms, Services, Outside, Local life and Final verdict. The prompts keep you moving naturally through the house.
Capture evidence
Take short videos for flow, light, views and room condition. Tag photos immediately as roof, damp, heating, access, favourite or concern so the evidence is easy to compare later.
Ask while standing there
Record agent answers in the property sheet: roof age, heating bills, fosse septique, DPE, boundaries, diagnostics, broadband, outbuildings and any offer history.
Before driving away
Choose a quick verdict while the feeling is fresh: shortlist, revisit, negotiate only after documents, or reject. Then add the caveat that could change the decision.
That evening
Open comparison on a larger screen and compare practical score, gut feeling, price, surface, rooms, land, DPE, local life, red flags, media evidence and unanswered questions.
A realistic four-house example
| House | During viewing | Evening comparison |
|---|---|---|
| Village house | Great bakery nearby, but no garden. Video the street noise and parking. | Shortlist only if the lack of outside space still feels acceptable. |
| Stone farmhouse | Photograph roof, barn, damp marks and access track. Ask about heating bills. | Compare renovation risk against price before falling for the land. |
| Lock-up-and-leave | Record flow between rooms, parking and storage. Check winter practicality. | Strong if the local-life score beats the more romantic house. |
| Renovation project | Tag every concern immediately. Ask for diagnostics and recent quotes. | Reject or negotiate unless the risk, budget and timescale are written down. |
What the app panels are for
Plan
Listing import
Paste the agent advert, then check detected price, surface, rooms, bedrooms, land, DPE, heating and reference.
- Confidence
- Auto-filled fields need human check.
Viewing
Route and media
First photo: take the front entrance or main facade before going inside. This becomes the comparison thumbnail later. The local-life lookup should already be done, so you can follow the 9-step route, tag media before capture, and keep agent answers separate from red flags.
- Media
- Photos, videos, favourites and concerns.
Decision
Shortlist
Compare houses by practical score, emotional score, red flags, open questions and final verdict.
- Best next action
- Revisit one, reject one, ask documents for two.
Privacy and backups
No account is required. Your viewing notes, photos and videos are stored locally in the browser on your device. That keeps the tool simple, but it also means important notes should be exported or backed up before changing phone, clearing browser data or relying on the record later.
This tool organises viewing evidence. It does not replace a notaire, diagnostics, surveyor, qualified trades, mortgage or tax advice.
