The Final Walkthrough
A final walk through is not a home inspection, nor is this the right time to negotiate with the seller to do repairs. This is an inspection you do several days before the closing and this is when you make sure that the property is in the same condition in which you agreed to buy it. Buyers are usually too pressed for time or too excited when the closing date draws near, which means that some bypass the final walk through. However, it is important that you go through this step.
When you do the final walk through, make sure all the light and plumbing fixtures work. If the house comes with appliances, test each and every one of them. Inspect the walls, ceilings, and floors, and test the air conditioning and heating systems. Check if all the doors and windows close well. Finally, make sure that all debris and personal belongings of the previous owner is removed from the home.
