final home inspection

That would depend on the law of the municipality where you built it. I'm surprised there isn't helpful info attached to your Building Permit.
If you build a home and live in it a year you do not need to register with Tarion and can sell it as is (no warranty)
If you build a home and live in it less than a year (or never) then you are bound to same warranties as any other new home builder through Tarion
That is the reason you see many people up north ON living then selling their own home
Otherwise things like structure have a 7 year warranty

All the inspections should be done throughout the home build.
I opted for Tarion warranty, never had to use it thankfully. Next time I would skip it and save the $1500 or whatever it cost, as long as you have a good builder and site super. If you have a good relationship, they'll be way more helpful getting trades to come back to fix things, than anything Tarion could do for you.
it would be helpful if you could be more specific.
are the permits in your name or the general contractors?
there is an occupancy inspection and final inspection. final inspection is just a walk through to ensure everything is finished. Im not sure of the legality of selling a home that hasnt been through final inspection. if its been 8 years the building department may require a renewal fee since its been such a long time between inspections.
I would do the final inspection since you are selling. do you really want a hick up during the closing process?
