Representative handover inspection interior

Snagging inspection

Inspect before you accept.

A room-by-room review of finishes, fixtures, systems, and visible defects before handover or final acceptance.

For handovers

New-build apartments, newly completed homes, renovated properties, and developer handovers.

Evidence-led

Findings are organised with notes, photos, severity, and recommended next steps.

Scope confirmed first

Fee, access, utilities, exclusions, and timing are confirmed before the inspection proceeds.

Inspection categories

Structure and finishes

Walls, floors, ceilings, paint, tiles, sealing, and visible workmanship.

Electrical and plumbing

Outlets, switches, panels, taps, drainage, water flow, and visible fittings.

Doors, windows, and security

Locks, hinges, alignment, glazing, handles, and access systems.

Climate and appliances

Air-conditioning, ventilation, installed appliances, and smart-home systems where fitted.

External areas and documentation

Drainage, balconies, external finishes, and signed specifications where accessible.

Fee and scope

Quoted after scope

The previous fixed-fee claim has been removed because size, property type, access, location, report scope, and reinspection needs must be confirmed first.
