What is a walk-through (état des lieux)?
A walk-through is the final inspection carried out when you are given the keys to your home. This inspection results in the binding signature of a walk-through report (procès-verbal d’état des lieux) and covers equipment and finishes. All patent defects, such as nicks, dents, splinters and stains, should be noted. Important: You have a period of 30 days after the walk-through in which to submit an additional list of latent defects, by registered letter with return receipt.
