Simple walkthrough checklist for homeowners
Use this checklist to stay organised on handover day and avoid missing easy-to-overlook issues.
Room-by-room core checks
- Walls/ceilings: marks, cracks, uneven paint
- Doors/windows: operation, latches, alignment
- Fittings: trim, handles, joints, finish quality
- Services: lights, sockets/outlets, taps/faucets, heating
- Flooring: scratches, chips, edge finish
Carry these items with you
- Phone charger to test power points quickly
- Torch/flashlight for corners and low-light areas
- Notepad or app for immediate logging
Always capture issues in real time
If you wait until later, details are easier to forget and harder to evidence.
Use one standard per issue
Each logged item needs a room, exact location, and clear photo. Consistency is more important than technical wording.
