What is a 'walk-through' inspection before closing in Delaware?
AA formal inspection conducted by a licensed home inspector 30 days before closing
BA buyer's final inspection of the property shortly before closing to verify it is in the agreed-upon condition — personal property included, repairs completed, and no new damage since the purchase agreement✓ Correct
CA building code inspection required by Delaware municipalities before all closings
DA real estate agent's tour of the property to prepare a comparative market analysis
Explanation
The pre-closing walk-through (typically 24–48 hours before closing) allows the buyer to verify: (1) the property is in the condition agreed upon in the contract; (2) agreed-upon repairs have been completed; (3) included personal property remains (appliances, fixtures); (4) no new damage has occurred. Issues discovered during walk-through should be resolved before closing, not after the deed is recorded.
