Are you getting ready to move into your new home? Here are a few things you should be sure to inspect during your walkthrough before moving in. This is typically the step after having a home inspection done. Completing a walkthrough is an important part of the purchasing process; it allows you to make sure any issues that came up during the home inspection were appropriately dealt with.
- Make sure any agreed-upon repairs were done.
- Check that any appliances that were supposed to be left or removed have been dealt with. Check that any remaining appliances are in working order.
- Test ALL outlets to be sure they are in working order.
- Additionally, test switches, light fixtures, smoke detectors, garage doors, and plumbing.
- Note any damage to floors, cabinets, ceilings, or walls.
- Check all caulking to make sure it’s sealed properly.
- Test any sliding doors or windows to be sure they open efficiently.
