Why Inspect Before Handover?

A new unit can have defects you won't notice on a quick walkthrough. The inspection gives you a clear list before you sign the handover.

Handover Without Inspection

  • You rely on a quick walkthrough of the unit.
  • Hidden defects appear after you move in.
  • You have no clear list to claim from the developer.
  • You fix the defects at your own expense.
