How To Prepare New Homes For Handover
Handover is where reputation is built or lost. A clean handover sets the tone for every review, referral and snag.
Pre-handover inspection
Snag the plot fully. Address all defects before cleaning starts.
Sparkle clean
Final detail clean across every surface, frame, fixture and pane of glass.
Owner walk-through
Run the buyer through the property calmly. A spotless home reduces objections and questions.
Handover pack
Manuals, warranties, code keys, contact list. Leave a clean kitchen worktop for the pack to sit on.
