Finding a home for your family is an important step in everyone’s life.  Finding a home for your career is just as important. 

Finding the best option that is most suited to your financial goals is the highest priority at PrimeLending. 

Final Walk-Through Inspection
 Prior to closing, you would be wise to revisit the property to verify that it is in the condition you have outlined in your purchasing offer and to be certain that required repairs have been completed to your satisfaction. It is best to do this final inspection no later than 1-3 days before you plan to close. Be sure to have this right of a final inspection included in your bid to buy the home.

This final inspection report should describe anything not to your satisfaction. Before your move in, even minor details such as scratches and incomplete paintwork should be addressed. After you settle in your home, the other items can be corrected. If you choose, you can hire a private building inspector or engineer to conduct the inspection on your behalf.

During your inspection, address the following areas:

The Exterior:

·         Grading slopes away from the house for drainage

·         The sod is laid

·         The siding is placed evenly and nailed securely to the walls

·         The brickwork is spaced evenly and clean
