Only a few very minor issues, bit of missed silicone, couple of minor paint touch ups, but overall impressively smooth sailing. The thing that has impressed me most is the…

Starting to get excited but at the same time I know there's a heap of work I'll need to do post-handover from Clarendon before I can move in.

That sucks, but the faults that were identified with paint, plaster, trim and so forth are so obvious that you don't really need an independent inspector to identify them.
