Although every step in purchasing a home must be taken with care, this is particularly true of the final walk-through inspection. This is the buyers last opportunity to check that the home is completed to their satisfaction before signing purchase papers and assuming full responsibility.
Every builder strives for perfection, delivering homes that are unblemished in any way.
But, sometimes things like paint chipping off a door does happen and is easily corrected by the builder before moving day. Identifying visual defects is only one reason for the final inspection tour. Another is to make sure everything in the home like air conditioning, furnace, water heater, kitchen appliances, etc., works, as it should. Following are a few points to consider during the final walk-through inspection, suggested by Roger Mankedick, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Concord Homes. The Palatine-based company is developing 14 new home communities throughout Chicagoland.
