Should be able to check if it has a gas safety certificate here.

you look for errors in the the LPE1, you pore over all local planning permission including expired and rejected, TPO's and local authority development zones. you price up the work that needs doing, get removal quotes, know when your offer runs out etc.
We seemed to spend a couple of hours nearly every weekend on 'stuff' but our solicitor was rubbish and we had a lot of multi page documents to go through and a lot of mortgage forecasts.
If we hadn't taken this forensic approach it could have cost us thousands down the line.
like the permission certificate granted for a boiler flue that was made invalid by putting it somewhere else which would have cost thousands to put right including ripping a kitchen and bathroom out.
Most people don't bother, or get a good solicitor but even they miss things.
