Step-by-step: how to evaluate a PG visit
1
Verify commute time
Check Google Maps during your actual travel hours, not straight-line distance.
2
Test WiFi speed on-site
Run a speed test before signing. Below 50 Mbps in the evening is a red flag.
3
Eat one meal before booking
Visit during lunch or dinner. Food quality is the biggest daily satisfaction factor.
4
Check CCTV and entry
Walk through entry, stairwells. Are cameras live? Is there a guard at all hours?
5
Ask deposit and brokerage
Ask before visiting: How many months deposit? Is there brokerage? Filters surprises.
