The Final Walk
Through
So, you are ready to close on your new home and you are getting ready to do your final walk through. This is an exciting time and NOT the time to loose focus on the details of what you are doing. Following these simple suggestions can help to make the process just a bit smoother.
When doing the
final walk through of your new home, it is helpful and likely wise, to come
prepared with a “Walk Through Check List”. This gives you the opportunity to
assess and inspect the condition of the house in detail, examining each of the
items left behind, while determining if each is to stay or be removed. You can
review the status of every item that was agreed upon per the Purchase
Agreement. Those items previously agreed upon to be repaired can be reviewed
and inspected. You are less likely to miss items previously discussed and for
which a determination was agreed upon.
We recommend
you make your checklist room by room, itemizing all of the permanent and
removable fixtures. Also to be included are plumbing, electrical, HVAC,
landscaping, garage, roof, attic, basement or crawl space and other exterior
items.
