What Is a Handover Inspection?
A Handover Inspection, also called a Snagging Inspection, is a detailed, visual and functional assessment of a newly completed property—conducted before the buyer signs off on final payment or possession.
We inspect your property room by room, wall by wall, system by system to identify:
- Surface and structural defects
- Incomplete works or poor workmanship
- Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing issues (MEP)
- Alignment problems, cracked tiles, misapplied sealants
- Paint inconsistencies, scratches, or dents
- Malfunctioning doors, windows, or fixtures
- Poor drainage, faulty air conditioning, or weak water pressure
