Hand-over and project completion
Your property is ready to be handed over to you from the developer but you are not available to do the snagging inspection yourself. What are your options?
With a large number of privately owned apartments, villas and commercial space being handed over to individual owners, there are considerable responsibilities in ensuring you receive your property in the best possible condition.
Cluttons offers an independent inspection service to ensure your property is delivered to you without defects. The inspection for your new property will cover the following:
- a walk through inspection of the property by our qualified engineering staff prior to you accepting the keys to help identify all the defects in your property before it is handed over to you
- identify all incomplete and incorrect aspects of the property in a detailed report which you can then give to the developer to rectify these items before hand over
The inspection will cover the following areas:
External
- infrastructure – quality of concrete surfaces, paint work or tiling
- terracing and balconies
- window frames, window glazing and doors
- car park / garage doors
- swimming pool / garden area
Interior
- internal finishes – paint work, wall cracks, woodwork and tiling
- doors, windows, locks, hinges and handles
- bathrooms – sanitary ware, mixers and grouting
- kitchens – cupboards, work tops, drawers, hinges and handles
- electrical – air conditioning, power sockets, light fittings and detectors
- electrical equipment (if supplied and power connected)
The inspection report, including photographs, will clearly mention the area and location of the defect which will assist the developer to identify and repair the faults. Each defect identified will have a priority rating in terms of the seriousness of the fault.
The developer is then responsible for completing the rectification works and should confirm to you once all items have been fixed.
Cluttons will not be responsible for following up with the developer or overseeing the works however we are pleased to offer an additional service of a follow up inspection, if required by you, to ensure these items have been rectified and issue a new report containing details of anything remaining.
