You've found a property that might be the one and you want to see more. Here are some tips that will help.

Make use of virtual tours

If the ad has a virtual tour take a look at that before reaching out to the agent. Virtual tours give you a great look at the interiors, shape and size of the home and can save you time viewing many properties.

Contact the agent

On Daft you can email or phone an agent. We recommending calling the agent with the number listed on the ad to see if there are any upcoming viewings you can sign up to.
