When you’re buying a house and you’re nearly at the finish line, you’ll get to do a final walk-through home inspection of your property before closing day. The final walk-through is your chance to make sure everything is in order and that your new home is ready for you.
Let’s take a closer look at what you need to do during the final walk-through and why it’s important.
What Is A Final Walk-Through?
A final walk-through is an important step in the home buying process. It provides an opportunity for home buyers to inspect the house before the official closing. The final walk-through allows the buyer and their real estate agent to go through the house room by room.
During the walk-through, the buyer has the chance to make sure everything is in the same condition (or better) as the last time they saw the home. They can verify that the seller hasn’t taken anything from the home they weren’t supposed to. The final walk-through also allows the buyer to see that the seller has made any repairs they promised to make.
