Pre-handover inspection
Some developers allow a buyer's inspection before the official handover appointment. Using that window means defects can be fixed before you sign, instead of after you move in.
What's included
- Full snagging of finishes and systems
- Priority list of defects to fix before handover
- Report you can share with the developer immediately
- Optional re-inspection before final handover
Benefits of inspecting early
- More time for the developer to fix issues
- Fewer repairs happening after you move in
- A stronger position at the handover meeting
How to arrange access
Ask your developer's handover team for a pre-handover or 'buyer's inspection' slot. We can coordinate directly with them on your behalf.
Frequently asked questions
Is a pre-handover inspection different from a handover inspection?
The checks are the same; the timing differs. A pre-handover inspection happens earlier, leaving time for repairs before the handover appointment.
