The final walkthrough is your last chance to confirm that the home you agreed to buy is the home you are about to receive.
What to check
Plan for around an hour, bring your purchase contract, and test everything rather than assuming it works.
All lights, switches, and sockets
Taps, drains, and water heater
Heating and cooling systems
Agreed repairs and included items
If something is wrong
Take clear photos and tell your agent straight away.
Ask for a repair, a credit, or a holdback from the sale funds.
Do not sign until you understand what has been agreed.
In closing
An unhurried walkthrough can save you real money and a lot of frustration after you move in.
