It means after doing a viewing or after going to see the place.

• 内見 = a viewing of a house/apartment/property
• した = past form of する
• あと / 後 = after

So the pattern is:

• Verb in past form + あと = after doing ...

Here:

• 内見したあと = after viewing the property

Because あと normally follows the past form of a verb when it means after doing something.

Pattern:

• 食べたあと = after eating
• 見たあと = after seeing
• 内見したあと = after doing a viewing

Even if the whole sentence is in the past, present, or future, the action before あと is usually shown as completed with the past form.

For example:

• 内見したあと、相談します。 = I will consult/discuss it after the viewing.
• 内見したあと、相談しました。 = I consulted/discussed it after the viewing.

Yes, 内見のあと is also possible.

Both are natural, but there is a slight structural difference:

• 内見したあと = after viewing it
• 内見のあと = after the viewing

So:

• verb + あと focuses on the action
• noun + の + あと treats it more like an event or thing

Because 内見 can function as a noun, 内見のあと works well too.

When speaking about your own mother to someone else, Japanese often uses 母.

• 母 = my mother / one’s mother in a more neutral way
• お母さん = mom / mother, often when addressing her directly or referring to someone else’s mother politely

So in this sentence:

• 母と相談しました = I discussed it with my mother

Using お母さん here is not impossible in casual speech, but 母 is the standard choice when referring to your own mother in neutral narration.

Here, と means with.

So:

• 母と相談しました = I discussed it with my mother

This と marks the other person involved in the discussion.

It is not the and meaning here. It is the with someone meaning.

Examples:

• 友だちと話しました = I talked with a friend
• 先生と相談しました = I consulted with the teacher

家賃について means about the rent or regarding the rent.

Breakdown:

• 家賃 = rent
• について = about / concerning / regarding

So:

• 家賃について相談しました = discussed/consulted about the rent

This is a very common grammar pattern:

• Noun + について = about N

Examples:

• 仕事について話す = talk about work
• 日本文化について学ぶ = learn about Japanese culture

Because について is a fixed expression.

It is not really being built freely each time as separate parts in the way a beginner might expect. You should learn it as one grammar item:

• N + について = about N

So:

• 家賃について
• 旅行について
• 問題について

There is no special separate meaning of に here that you need to translate word by word in this sentence. Just treat について as about/regarding.

Because 相談する usually does not take the topic as a direct object with を in this way.

Natural patterns are:

• 人に相談する = consult someone
• 人と相談する = discuss with someone
• ことについて相談する = discuss/consult about something
• ことを相談する can exist, but it is more limited and often sounds less basic or less natural for beginners’ usage than 〜について相談する

So in this sentence, the most straightforward pattern is:

• 母と家賃について相談しました

That means:

• discussed it with my mother
• about the rent

Not exactly. 相談する is more than just chatting or talking.

It usually means something like:

• consult
• discuss in order to decide something
• ask for advice
• talk something over

So 母と家賃について相談しました suggests the speaker and their mother talked seriously about the rent, probably to make a decision or consider options.

If it were 話しました, it would be more simply talked.
相談しました has a stronger feeling of seeking advice or discussing a problem/decision.

Japanese often leaves out the subject when it is obvious from context.

So this sentence does not explicitly say 私は, but it is understood as something like:

• 私は内見したあと、母と家賃について相談しました。

In English, you usually need I, but in Japanese, omitting it is very normal.

Not completely. Japanese word order is more flexible than English, especially because particles show each word’s role.

The given sentence is very natural:

• 内見したあと、母と家賃について相談しました。

But some rearrangement is possible, such as:

• 母と、内見したあと家賃について相談しました。

Still, the original order is the clearest and most natural for a learner:

1. time/action first
2. people/topic next
3. main verb at the end

Japanese often places background information before the main verb.

Because Japanese is basically a verb-final language.

The main verb usually comes at the end of the sentence. Everything before it builds context:

• 内見したあと = after the viewing
• 母と = with my mother
• 家賃について = about the rent
• 相談しました = discussed/consulted

This is very normal Japanese sentence structure.

相談しました is the polite past form.

• 相談した = plain past
• 相談しました = polite past

So the choice depends on tone and situation:

• polite/neutral speech: 相談しました
• casual speech: 相談した

The sentence in your example is using polite style overall.

No. Normally, Japanese is written without spaces between words.

Natural writing would be:

• 内見したあと、母と家賃について相談しました。

You may also see:

• 内見した後、母と家賃について相談しました。

Both are fine; あと can be written in hiragana or as 後.

The spaces in learning materials are often added only to make the sentence easier to read.
