Take your contract with you and your real estate agent to confirm that any items that were agreed upon to be fixed or repaired have been done and that they have left the house with the right materials and any items that were set to stay.
Start on the inside and open and close all the windows and doors and check that all latches and locks work properly.
Test all heating and air-conditioning systems.
Confirm that all appliances are in good working order and as they should be.
Flush all the toilets and check all the faucets.
Test all the light switches and electrical outlets. Bring along a hairdryer or something small that can easily be plugged in to verify electricity.
Test all smoke detectors and CO detectors.
Make sure there are no leaks from faucets, water lines, or drainpipes and check underneath the sinks for any signs of mold, mildew, or water damage.
Confirm that all bathtubs, showers, and sinks a drain properly. Run them for about a minute to see if there is a clog.
Check the exterior of the home for any damage to doors, windows, screens, siding, paint, and roof.
Confirm that all landscaping remains the same as it was during the inspection. If large planter boxes or pots are removed, verify that the contract states what to do with them.
Verify that all items that were contracted to stay are still in the home such as drapes, curtain rods, and anything attached to the home itself.
