Final Walkthrough Inspection
What Is A Final Walkthrough?
For those who are unacquainted, the final walkthrough before closing on a house is one of the last steps to buying a home. The final walkthrough is typically completed after the seller has moved out and allows the buyer to confirm that agreed-upon repairs have been made, and that there are no new issues. Essentially, the final walkthrough allows home buyers to do one last check. This is to make sure that the home they’re purchasing is in the same condition it was when they agreed to buy it, plus any additional repairs stipulated in the purchase agreement, and that nothing has been removed – like light fixtures or faucets – that shouldn’t have been.

When Does A Final Walkthrough Take Place?
Final walkthroughs typically take place as close to closing day as possible. During the walkthrough, a Spartan Home Inspector with the buyer will go through the property. We will check that there’s no new damage, that all the home’s systems and appliances included in the sale are still working and that the home is in a clean condition.
If the seller has been moved out for a while, they’ll also be on the lookout for things that could’ve gone wrong in the time since the property was vacated.Participating in a final walkthrough as a buyer is vital. Not only are you about to make a huge purchase, but you’re also about to be legally and financially responsible for this property. Forgoing a final walkthrough could mean unwittingly taking on a big financial burden, having to pay for a repair you’d already negotiated with the seller to cover, or worse.
