Prior to going to the closing table a buyer is entitled to go back to the property to insure that everything is in the same condition as it was at the time the contract was signed. Appliances should be working unless excluded in the contract. You may have negotiated or the seller has agreed to leave certain things in the house such as light fixtures, air conditioners, window treatments. The final walk through is your opportunity to do the final check before going to the closing table but this is to check that was in the contract. This is not an opportunity to do a reinspection.
Prior to signing your contract most likely you brought an Inspector in to check the house. Some Inspectors offer the service to come in to do the final walk through with you. If you plan to bring back an Inspector for the final walk through and some people do, most people don't, please make sure that the seller is aware of this. If this is not in the contract the seller has no obligation to let you back in the house with an Inspector at this point.
Some Inspectors will tell you that at the final walk through they will explain how all the systems in the house work. It is not the seller's responsibility to let you spend the time dong this at the walk through. This is something that you and your Inspector can spend loads of time on after you own the house. Or you can take notes at the pre contract Inspection.
