Why should I do a final inspection?

The final inspection usually takes place on the day of transfer. Right before you receive the keys. It’s your last chance to check if everything is in the agreed condition.

Here’s what to look out for:

  • Any agreed-upon repairs have been completed.
  • No new damage has occurred since your last visit.
  • Fixtures, appliances, and other agreed items are still present and working.
  • Read and record the utility meters together with the seller or agent.

Spotting an issue at this stage gives you the chance to raise it with the notary before officially signing. It’s a small but essential step to avoid unpleasant surprises later.
