Final Walk-Through Checklist
The final walk-through gives homebuyers an opportunity to inspect a property before closing on the sale of a property. Here is a checklist to help you during the process:
Ensure That Requested Repairs Have Been Made
Have all the repairs you requested in your sales agreement been made? Do you have all warranties and/or bills for repairs made? Is the property in the same condition, and has not deteriorated, since last seen?
Items You Purchased With The House
Including drapes, appliances, lighting, furnishings, remote control devices for ceiling fans, alarms, garage doors, owner’s manuals for appliances and home systems.
Window and Doors
Do the doors and windows open and close properly? Are any windows missing screens?
Appliances and Systems
Among the appliances you should check are the dishwasher, washer and dryer, air conditioner, heating system, water faucets and garage doors.
Interior Floors, Walls, and Ceilings
Are there water stains on the ceiling (especially below bathrooms) or have any walls been damaged by movers?
Leaks and Plumbing Problems
Flush all toilets and check all faucets.
Electric
Turn on all lights to make sure they work properly.
Exterior
Is the landscape as you expected it? If there are sprinklers, are they working properly?
