What is included
Snagging and handover inspection for new villas, townhouses and apartments: every room checked before you accept the keys, every defect listed and photographed for the developer, and a re inspection once the list has been fixed. A new home is handed over with defects the eye misses in a short walk round: a door that binds, a hollow tile, a slow drain, a hairline crack, an AC that cools one room and not the next. Once the handover form is signed, getting them fixed is slower. The MELLS walks the home room by room with a written checklist, a moisture meter, a thermal camera and a spirit level, lists and photographs every defect, and sends a clear report you can hand to the developer. When the developer says the list is done, we come back and check each item again.
- Specification and floor plan checked against what was built
- Finishes, fittings and appliances checked for model and condition
- Meter readings and keys recorded
- Defects listed before the handover form is signed
How we carry out off plan handover inspection
An off plan home is bought from drawings and a specification years before it is built. On the handover day, our inspector checks that the rooms, finishes, fittings and appliances match what was sold, and records anything that is missing, different or damaged.
Meter readings, keys and access cards are recorded, and every defect is listed with a photograph before you sign. Anything noted at this stage is the developer's to put right.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Booking against your handover date. You send the developer's inspection or handover date, and the inspection is planned for that slot, with the floor plan and specification if you have them.
- Room by room inspection. The inspector works through every room, the outside areas and the building services with a written checklist, a moisture meter, a thermal camera and a spirit level.
- Defects numbered and photographed. Each defect is numbered, located on the plan and photographed, so the developer's team can find it without guesswork.
- Report within 48 hours. The written report reaches you within 48 hours, in a format you can send straight to the developer.
- Re inspection. When the developer says the list is done, every item is checked again and anything still open is recorded in an updated report.
