Questions to ask during a viewing?

[SKILL]

I've just booked a viewing for a property for sale near me, I'm not 100% sure I'm ready to buy yet but it was interesting enough to go have a look.

Anyway, I'm used to looking at places from a rental perspective rather than buying so not sure what I should be asking, all I can really think of at the moment is:

Council tax band

EPC details (the agent have shown the grading bit, which shows D currently but could be B, would be nice to know what they reckon is needed to get to B)

Is any of it listed, it has an outbuilding that appears to be quite old but no mention of and listed status on it.

Also would it be worth asking how long it's been on the market?

Anything else I should be asking, or even just specific things to look for in/around the property?

Thanks all for the suggestions, loads of stuff I would've missed

Should've thought of freehold/leasehold, it's not mentioned in the ad but will make sure to ask.

It's a house so ground rent/maintenance charges shouldn't exist afaik?

The interior has been 'recently' redone, not sure how recently but not sure I'll be able to see any 'nasties' like cracks/damn or whatever. But I'll have a good look.

Derek W, good point on english heritage, had a look and they list 3 properties over the road as grade 2 listed, but nothing else on the street so looks like that's clear which is good news.

EDIT:
I know the area fairly well (I live about 1 mile from there at the moment), parking on the road is nonexistant (double yellows one one side and single on the other) but there is one off-road space a the front and space for 3-4 cars around the back so that's not a problem. Water Meter the company around here fits them for free, which I'd definitely be doing if it's not already done.

Thanks again for all the help, had the viewing today and it was interesting actually looking at a property with thoughts of buying rather than the easier choice of renting.

Ultimately I think it's way overpriced for what I feel would be needed to make it into a 'nice' place to live/own, and even then it's limited really in how it's laid out to ever work, but not sure if I'm looking for a 'perfect' house without a budget to match
