Would you rent or buy a property via virtual viewing?

[abbby]

Given that you've not seen the house before, would you commit to rent or buy a property only by a virtual viewing? Especially during the Covid19 circumstances.

I guess it's similar to buying off plan so I imagine a lot of people will if that's all that's on offer.

For a known quality project I can see this happening. For a HDB also can as most people in Singapore know the sizes quite well from being in them. For unknown projects it may be harder.

For me, rentals are highly possible to rent thru virtual viewings.

[trudyt1]

yes possible, I think virtual viewing is very convenient nowadays. You can request the owner to show you all corners of the house

But the widespread usage of wider angle lenses sure makes pigeonholes look spacious and really livable, until you walk in and find you cannot hardly even turn around.

Even with condo show flats, developers have tricks up their sleeves: you'll never see any doors, lots of mirrors on the walls and, my favorite, custom-built furniture like sofas and beds that are actually downsized to make the unit look bigger.

Yes, I would, but unless you are very experienced, I suggest you don't

Yeah, but QS & Contracts is not everybody's forte is it. lol
