Pre-closing Inspections

A+ Plus Home Inspection NYC provides a pre-closing home inspection service, also known as a final walk-through inspection. This is a critical examination of a residential property conducted shortly before the closing of a real estate transaction. This inspection is typically performed by the buyer to ensure that the property is in the agreed-upon condition, all negotiated repairs have been completed, and there are no unexpected issues. Here's a description of what's typically involved in a pre-closing home inspection:

Review of Contract and Negotiations:

The inspector begins by reviewing the purchase contract, addendums, and any agreed-upon repairs or concessions.
This helps ensure that the inspection aligns with the terms of the sale.

Verification of Repairs:

The inspector checks that any repairs requested by the buyer or seller, as outlined in the contract, have been completed to the buyer's satisfaction.
This includes inspecting the quality of workmanship and ensuring that all agreed-upon repairs are in place and functioning correctly.

Property Condition Assessment:

The condition of the property is assessed, focusing on major systems and components, such as the roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and structural elements.
The inspector looks for any issues or damage that may have occurred since the initial inspection, such as water damage or new leaks.

Appliance and Fixture Inspection:

Appliances, fixtures, and other included items are tested for proper operation.
Buyers ensure that appliances like ovens, stoves, refrigerators, and HVAC systems are in working order.

Utilities and Services Check:

The inspector confirms that all utilities and services, such as water, electricity, gas, and sewer or septic systems, are functioning as expected.
Water pressure, temperature, and drainage are evaluated.

Exterior Inspection:

The exterior of the property, including the yard, landscaping, and any outbuildings, is inspected to ensure it matches the condition described in the contract.
