Do a final walk-through before transfer

Weeks can pass between your offer and transfer day, and a home can change in that time. A repair the seller agreed to may not be finished, an included item may have left with the movers, or a new leak may have appeared. Once the transfer is complete, raising these points becomes harder, so the last check belongs before it, not after. Arrange a walk-through a few days before transfer with your agent present. Bring the list of agreed repairs and included items, run the AC, taps and appliances, and look for new marks or damage. Example: a Yas Island townhouse where the agreed repaint of the stairwell has not started. Note anything outstanding in writing and agree how it will be resolved before you sign.
