Frequently asked questions
- What do you check in a final walkthrough?
- Run all water, test outlets and HVAC, check that agreed repairs were done and no new damage occurred, open all windows and doors, and confirm included items remain.
- What if I find a problem at the walkthrough?
- Raise it before closing — that's the point of the walkthrough. Problems found before you take possession are easier to have the seller resolve than after.
