Checklist before taking possession of your
new home
Below is a checklist that we used before taking possession of our home. I
can't take credit for this as the list was compiled from several online
sources
Allot separate sheets for each of the below:
1. Bedrooms
2. Bathrooms
3. itchen
!. "o#er
$. %ining &oom
. %rawing room
(. )*terior
+. ,isc.
-. arking
I would suggest #ou have inspect the house during the di/erent phases of
construction and not 0ust at the end. If #ou are going to use the following
checklist I would suggest that #ou allow an adeuate amount of time. If
#ou go thru each item and each room thoroughl# I would suggest #ou
have at least one person helping #ou and set aside about half a da#.
Items that #ou will need for #our walk through are listed below:
1. our checklist
2. &oll of painters tape mark items that need attention4
3. 5ouse plans and measuring tape measure all rooms4
!. 6ist of #our included features verif# all are there4
$. 6ist of #our upgrades that #ou selected verif# all are there4
. 7amera and video camera documentation to ensure all items were
corrected4

(. 5ose and sprinkler test windows for leaks4
8nce we had the house taped o/ and the checklist done9 I went thru and
did a short video and took pictures as well detailing all of the things that
needed attention. I was warnted that blue tape sometimes has a wa# of
disappearing without the work being done and this happened to us as
well. here were so man# things that needed attention that there is no
wa# I would have remembered them all so having the video and pictures
once we went back thru the house helped tremendousl# to ensure all of
the items received attention.
