I’m an estate agent and here’s a trick you should always follow when buying a house

THERE'S a reason people say moving house is the most stressful thing you can ever do - along with the endless paperwork and surveys, you also live in fear of it falling through at any second.

So in the chaos of it all, it can be quite hard to imagine what it'll actually be like to live there at the end of it.

But before signing on the dotted line, estate agent Alyssa Smith says there's one thing we're ALL forgetting to do - and it could save you a lot of stress in the long-run.

In a viral that's racked up over 30,000 "likes", the expert said her advice could "make or break" the sale.

Alyssa explained: "If you're buying a house, make sure you do this first.

"Go to the neighbourhood you want to buy in at night.

"Check out the house, check out the street, check out the neighbours."

In doing this, Alyssa says this will help you identify any problems before it's too late to turn back.

After all, most house viewing take place in the day when noisy neighbours are at work and roads won't be anywhere near as busy.

Urging her 14,000 to do their own little stake-out, Alyssa added: "Make sure it's at night!"

Needless to say, the video resonated with viewers who wished they'd been given this advice before moving in.

One replied: "Sit outside for a couple hours and listen for a German shepherds that barks 24/7. We didn’t do this. I regret it."

Another added: "I wish I had done this. My next door neighbour stands in his garage all night and watches what everyone does..."

Meanwhile, a third suggested: "Join the neighbourhood Facebook groups for that specific area. You'll learn a lot on those!"

Agreeing with Alyssa, a fourth wrote: "[Go] on weekend too. Check it out at several time of day and days of the week."
