The second viewing of a property is the time to look at sensible things like the electrics, fuse boards, boiler condition etc etc. Also I have to say you’d generally have a second viewing BEFORE making your offer! 
However, as we are relocating and its a long journey we made the offer and have only just seen the property for the second time.
The second viewing was interesting for a number of reasons; firstly in some respects the house seemed smaller than in my memory I know this is because it was the only property we saw on saturday whereas when we viewed it the first time we saw 8 other properties so had those fresh in our minds for comparison. The main thing we noticed this time round was that in fact it is in much better condition than we thought/remembered. The floorboards are good although will need sanding and varnishing. The kitchen has a huge original fireplace which I didn’t notice first time because some terrible 1970’s style kitchen cupboards have been put in front of it. The boiler will probably work fine whilst we install underfloor heating so that’s great news since we’ll be moving in during the coldest time of the year! The fireplaces are as nice as I remembered (see photo). You can also see from the photo what I mean about the paint on the living room ceiling!
