Viewing an apartment for an Airbnb project: the method

A viewing with a real estate agency in Agadir should link your purchase project to the intended use of the property. For a future Airbnb rental, look at the arrival route, the actual sleeping arrangements and the upkeep constraints. The advertised price and photos are not enough to describe how easy the property will be to manage day to day.

Present your requirements before the viewings

Explain to the agency whether you are looking for an occasional pied-à-terre, a property intended mainly for rental or a property that will need to adapt to your needs. Specify the capacity you want, the essential amenities and the time you can devote to monitoring.

Also state what you are willing to change: furniture, paint, kitchen or storage layout. Two apartments at the same price can require very different efforts to get up and running. This distinction helps select relevant viewings without turning each viewing into a new project.

Follow a guest's route with their luggage

From the street, identify the exact entrance, the steps, the successive doors and the lift if there is one. Try to understand how an arrival would work after a residence reception has closed. In the Marina, Founty or Hay Mohammadi, check the conditions of the building in question rather than inferring how it works from the name of the neighbourhood.

• Is the property easy to identify with a short instruction?
• Does an advertised parking space correspond to a space that can actually be used?
• Does access require additional badges?
• Which obstacles need to be clearly described in a listing?

Assess the truly comfortable capacity

Count the usable beds and the seats around the table, then compare them with the intended capacity. An extra bed sometimes takes up the only shared space. Check the storage, sockets and lighting in each sleeping area. A consistent capacity makes preparation easier and avoids promising a level of comfort the layout does not allow.

Open the windows, observe the ventilation and ask how the equipment is maintained. Note visible defects and questions that require a technical check. A sales viewing does not replace a professional's inspection when a problem needs to be diagnosed.

Have the conditions of use clarified

Ask for the available information on the residence rules, use of common areas and guest-hosting constraints. Have the conditions applicable to the intended project confirmed by the competent contacts before making any commitment. A property listing or an income estimate does not constitute legal validation of the rental activity.

For each property, end the viewing with three columns: items checked, answers awaited and works to be costed. This sheet limits comparisons based solely on the impression of the moment. It also gives a future concierge service a concrete basis for assessing whether to take on the property.

Frequently asked questions

Is proximity to the beach enough to choose a property?

It may matter for the project, but access, the property's condition and its layout remain decisive. Check the actual route from the address you visited.

When should you ask a concierge service for its opinion?

Before making your final choice, once the property information is precise enough to examine possible check-in, preparation and follow-up.
