Can you inspect the property again before the final deed?

You can look at the property again

Between the promise of sale and the final deed, the buyer is not simply waiting. As Dr. Laferla puts it: "before the final deed, the buyer can once again inspect the property to ascertain that the state of the property is in the state that he or she would have seen it before signing the promise of sale."

The benchmark is the state at signing

This is a comparison, not a fresh survey. The question the inspection answers is narrow and useful: is the property still in the condition it was in when you agreed to buy it? Months can pass between the promise of sale and the deed, and what you are confirming is that nothing has changed in that window.

Where it sits in the process

The inspection belongs to the same stretch of the purchase as the notary's checks and any architect's report. It runs after the promise of sale has been signed and before the final deed, alongside the searches the notary carries out. What the Konvenju itself entitles you to depends on the clauses it contains, which is why they are worth getting right at signing rather than arguing about later.
