Don't forget closet ceilings. Open and close all doors. If the countertops are granite or quartz, I would run my finger over all edges, top and bottom, to look for chips and cracks, and inspect the seams. All of this can be done in less than 30 minutes. Good luck.
I agree with R6.
TV is great about getting things replaced/repaired.
Note flaws in cabinet stains, door/wall/trim painting.
Watch for hairline cracks in grout.
Caulk gaps.
