Most buyers choose to perform a Final Walkthrough (also known as a pre-settlement inspection) prior to the settlement date to review the condition of the property.  A systematic review of the building components prior to settlement or as soon thereafter as possible, will help you develop a sense of the baseline condition of the building, and will provide a status report on any agreed upon repairs or modifications.  Aston Property Inspection's recommended Final Walkthrough Checklist will help ensure you evaluate all the important components before you finally sign.  Our Checklist is available as a pdf file for free download.
