Tip: Always be a pain. It's your house and if you're gonna stay in it, you want a place that you'll be proud of. It's up to the developer if they want to rectify every little defect. Scrutinise every surface, every luck, every tap, look up, down, hidden corners... Oh, be firm but nice when you're with the inspection guy. It doesn't do any good to be nasty with people who could make life easier or difficult for you.
1. Wall surfaces. Make sure they are even, especially at places where they have hacked to install additional points.
2. Paint job on walls, ceiling and doors. Must be even, no drips. Also check where ceilings and walls meet. No overlapping of paint.
3. Tiles - any missing ones? Especially mosaic ones in bathroom.
4. Locks.
5. Windows.
6. Pipes, plumbing.. any leaks?
7. Doors hinges and frames - have they been properly installed? Any gaps?
8. Stray cement - get them to clean it up.
9. The bits between tiles. If they're supposed to be white, make sure they're all white and not grey in certain areas.
10. And lastly, any cracks.
