The final walk-through of your new home is an exciting milestone. It signifies that you have successfully navigated negotiations, inspections, and financing approvals, and you are now close to signing your closing papers. While it's natural to think about furniture placement and paint colors, the walk-through is crucial for ensuring there are no unresolved issues before you finalize the purchase. Here are some key things to check during your final walk-through:
Check for New Damage: Ensure no new damage has occurred since the last inspection. Weather conditions, movers, or the process of the sellers moving out can cause accidental damage. Verify that any previously agreed-upon repairs have been completed.
Inspect Appliances and Systems: Confirm that all appliances are still in working order and check for any new plumbing or electrical issues. While this isn't a full inspection, visually check for any obvious problems that need to be addressed before moving in.
Verify Contractual Items: Make sure all items that the sellers agreed to leave, such as furniture, décor, or equipment, are still present. Nothing that was part of the sale agreement should be missing.
Ensure Seller's Belongings Are Removed: Confirm that the sellers have removed all their personal belongings. The home should be clean and free of unwanted items or trash. The sellers are responsible for ensuring that nothing they didn't agree to leave behind is still in the home.
By thoroughly checking these aspects, you can ensure that your new home is in the expected condition and ready for you to move in without any surprises.
