Things You Should Remember for the Final Walk-Through
When you talk of final walk-through, you are not referring to a home inspection or the negotiation process.
This pertains to an inspection done in just a few hours to a couple of days before the closing date.
Its objective is to secure that the house is in perfect state which you have agreed to purchase and repairs are already through.
Nothing should be wrong since this is already the final stage.
Be sure to conduct a pre-settlement ad walk-through of the house, try to go over the terms and conditions so you can be assured that everything is totally in good condition.
For those properties which are still occupied, be sure that the seller's personal stuffs are taken away before you do the walk-through.
In this way, you can see how the house would look like before the new owner would occupy it.
Make sure that you do the final walk-through together with the seller since he is aware of the issues which must be resolved before you close the deal.
If you have clarifications about the place, he can immediately answer them.
A house which is not occupied is easier to check than that of an occupied one.
You must carefully scrutinize the systems inside such as the water, heating, cooling and electrical.
The seller would leave the place before the closing date.
Hence, the final walk-through process is very important on vacant homes since issues can be discovered once the house is unoccupied.
If the agent has identified how long an item is, current state, repair, warranty and service contract, these should all be done in writing.
Be sure to ask the seller to hand you over all the warranties, manuals, guides and other relevant papers in the systems, appliances and gadgets left inside the house.
Check the utilities if they are also in good working conditioner.
Call the inspector to ensure that everything is fine so you will not have to deal with previous issues on the house alone.
A lot of home buyers are already eager to occupy the place when the closing date is fast approaching.
Thus, they would skip the final walk-through process.

This procedure will also ensure that you have indeed bought a good house.
Hence, never attempt to skip or forego this opportunity if you do not want to have a headache in dealing with the problems of your house later on.
Grab this chance to check everything and anything you have in your new home.
