Looking for advice on upcoming walk throughs for our first home (new construction).
Closing date is 3/30. First walk through is 3/23 and final walk through is 3/29. I received all those dates on Monday of this week.
One area of concern was water was apparently on in the house during the freeze and a pipe busted in the attic over the study. They repaired that and all the floor trim. Sheet rock is unknown but will be asking. What other items should I look at? Builder/loan company has a inspector running through before the first walk through. I looked into getting my own but the guy I spoke to was pretty concerned that enough would be done by then for me to get my full money worth (appreciated the honesty). I asked the builder if what the condition of the house would be in by then but seemed like he stepped around the question and said the inspector has to have his report to them before the first walk through and they will only address code items. (Sound normal?)
Progress has been very slow until last Thursday when I made a big ordeal about it because I only locked in my rate 19 days before closing and rates have only been going up since the end of Feb. This cost me to the tune of 10-12k over the life of the loan. So not sure how much will be there to inspect/see by the first walk through.
I am obviously very green to this experience so open to all advice. Thank you.
