Decide what to repair or clean before viewings

Note meter readings and where the keys and cards are

What they will charge, when, and what it covers

How long you are committing to, and how it ends

Whether the arrangement is exclusive, and what that means

Where and how your property will be advertised

Who speaks to enquirers, and how you hear about them
