It's crucial to take your time during this inspection. Don't rush, but take your time to look around the house you'll soon be moving into. Also, make a list of any additional work or deductions so you can assess them. Furthermore, you should pay particular attention to the following:
After the inspection, you'll sign a handover report. The builder will also sign this report. It's therefore important that you note any defects before signing. You can, for example, indicate that you accept the property except for the noted defects. Having an inspection report will strengthen your position with the builder.
It's definitely a good idea to bring a specialist along to this inspection; they're familiar with the ins and outs and understand your rights. For example, it's also important to note which rooms weren't properly inspected due to a lack of space or adequate lighting. If necessary, you can then refer to this observation in the inspection report if something isn't working properly.
