You must be thrilled! You are in your final stages of buying a home , you’ve negotiated a great price, you had a home inspection and you are just about ready to move in. But, one crucial step still remains – ensuring that your new home is in good shape and in working order.
We’ve compiled a final home walkthrough checklist of some of the most important things you won’t want to overlook.
It’s important to know what to look for before conducting a final walk-through on your new home.
Here are some general questions to consider as you prepare for your final walkthrough of your new home:
This is a good time to make sure anything you’ve asked the seller to fix has been done and done properly. Bring a copy of the home inspector’s report with you. You’ll also want to look for any potential new damages that may have happened while the seller was moving out.
Double check that every item that has been negotiated into the sales price, which may include appliances or lighting fixtures, are still in the home.
Since the house is just about yours, feel free to check the appliances. Maybe you can run the dishwasher or test out the washer machine. You won’t want to move into a new home and realize you won’t be able to do your laundry!
Run the sink for a few minutes to test how long it takes for the water to warm up. You should also check the water pressure. You can flush the toilet or turn on the shower to confirm they are all in order.
Turn the lights on and off in every room (and the fan if there is one). You should also bring your phone charger with you, as that can be a great way to test the outlets to confirm it’s working correctly once you see the charge sign.
Make sure each one properly closes and opens, and, if they have screens, make sure none are missing or damaged.
Make sure to go through this homebuyers final walkthrough checklist before your final home inspection !
