New Development - Walk Throughs

Unless there are major infrastructure issues you're worried about, doing the walk-through on your own should be fine.

unless major changes were reccomended, probably a waste to have inspector again...unless he is welling to come for free

Ok, thanks for the feedback guys! There were just small mostly cosmetic issues with our apt when it was inspected.

It's not uncommon to have cosmetic issues with new condominiums. You may think you are alone, but many new apartments in today's market have been sitting idle for upwards of 1-2 years. So, while the condo is "new," it has probably been shown to many, many potential buyers who have opened and closed cabinets, shower doors, dishwashers, windows, etc. Cosmetic issues are likely to be remedied either before or not later than 30 days after the closing. Additionally, there is also a law regarding workmanship in NY state for new homes. Cosmetic defects can often be blamed on workmanship and/or materials, both of which are covered for at least a couple of years by state law. The builder has an obligation to fix these.

Enjoy your new place! How exciting.
