What should I check at the final walkthrough?

At a Saskatoon final walkthrough, a buyer confirms three things: the home matches its condition when the offer was accepted, every repair promised in the written conditions is done, and the appliances and fixtures named in the offer are still there, since the offer Information Services Corporation registers at possession does not include the seller's furniture.

Condition means checking for new damage since the offer was accepted, not re-inspecting for problems a home inspection at $400 to $600 would have already caught weeks earlier, so the walkthrough is a confirmation step, not a second inspection.

A buyer should also confirm the home is left broom-swept and that any items the seller agreed to remove, from a shed to a wall-mounted television, are actually gone, since disputes over what stays and what goes are common enough that the offer should have named the specific items in the first place.

Joel Dyck walks every buyer through exactly what to check before they arrive, so nothing gets missed in a rushed visit. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
