Tips for new home inspection
Page 1 of 1
We are expecting final inspection and walk through ( before handover). Can you guys please give us some tips what to look at and most common defect to look for?
Appreciate your feedback
scratches in bathtub
Thanks
Basically make sure you check anywhere that things can be hidden because 95% of the time if you can’t see it without a bit of effort they probably haven’t done it, we found this on our home and still find it to this day, two months later.. lol!
Marks on walls, missing silicone in places and behind sinks, underneath cabinetry walls not painted, missing grout (if you have tile), unpainted shelves (mostly the bottoms), check all taps and fixtures work correctly, all power points and fixtures are straight, check ceiling insulation, etc.

Check that doors close properly and actually lock.
Definitely don't miss checking the bath. It would have been used to dump tile offcuts in and then one of the "professionals" building your house would have stood on the offcuts whilst fixing tiles, grouting, painting, fitting taps.
Thanks the link looks very useful....
Exhaust fans all plumbed up and exhausted to outside.

When do you think is the right time to do final inspection before walk through or before hand over. Houspect recommend us to do 3 to 5 days before handover. What do you suggest?
Thanks in advance
Thanks guys
