Make the transition as painless as possible. Take notice of this home turnover checklist before moving into your new house and lot, or accepting your new condo or apartment.

The achievement of having and owning a brand new home and lot is the product of your hard work, and seeing it already constructed is a wonderful feeling. Eventually, after all of the months and years of waiting, your house is finished and ready for you to move into.

However, before you move in or sign the paperwork for the housing turnover, you should make a list of items to check off and create a punch list before you accept the housing turnover. A checklist may assist you in ensuring that all regions and home features are constructed in accordance with the standards that have been agreed upon. Following that, please see below your important home changeover checklist.

Make a start at the front door.
Always begin with your doorway to guarantee that your home is completely finished, painted, and cleaned from top to bottom. The gateway to your home, the driveway, the patio, and the flooring are examples of such regions. Afterward, make sure that your main door opens and closes smoothly, and that your doorknobs are capable of locking it.

As you approach your main door, take a moment to inspect the condition of the external finishes on your home. After that, check to verify that the surfaces have been coated uniformly and that there are no cracks.

More importantly, double-check the unit's size, which is usually indicated in square meters. It is best to double-check the measurement of the floor space or hire an expert to do so. If the contract specifies a 40-square-meter unit, delivering anything less than that is considered a violation of the contract.

Examine the electrical outlets
When checking on your electrical, be sure to check everything thoroughly. Always start by turning on your circuit breaker to ensure that all wires are securely connected and not frayed. Check to ensure that all of the labels correspond to the switches and that all of the switches are operational.

Moving on, individual outlets should be installed in your living room, kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom, and outdoors, if you have access to such facilities. Examine the installation of all electrical fixtures to ensure that they are in proper working order. By turning on all of the light switches, you can see whether they are all functioning properly. Additionally, you may test your outlets using a digital multimeter to verify whether they are functional. You might hire an electrician to do a more complete inspection of the electrical outlets. It would also be beneficial to double-check that the phone outlets and cables are in working condition.

Doors When you first go into your house, check to verify sure your front door is readily movable and does not become stuck. Check to see whether it can be opened and closed without the need for any pushing or tugging. Examine the surface for signs of insect or termite damage, such as dents, scratches, bubbles, and chipping. This is consistent with the other doors in your home. In regards to your doorknobs, consult with your Engineer or Contractor to ensure that the material utilized in the doorknobs is long-lasting and does not rust quickly. After that, check to see whether it locks correctly and make copies of the keys for all of your doorknobs and locks. It is important to verify whether you can see clearly through any peepholes on your doors and to make sure they are at ordinary eye level.

Windows
Examine your windows with great attention to detail. Check the glass panels on your windows to make sure there are no fractures or dents in the frames. Check that you can open and shut your window smoothly by opening and closing it to its utmost extent and then closing it tightly. Check each of the various tracks, seals, cranks, and locks to ensure that they are in proper working order. When the window is closed, the window locks must be in proper working order and secure the window.

Bathroom Inspect the bathtub, sink, shower, and toilet to see if they are loose or if they have rust, chips, or cracks in them. Flush all of your bathrooms and make an attempt to use the bidet to check for leaks. Check to see sure your shower is functioning properly. Make sure there is no leakage in the bathtub and sink by filling them with water and waiting for at least two minutes before using them.

Walls, floors, and ceilings are all covered with drywall.
The furnishing should carry out the furnishing in the proper manner. Begin with your walls and pay close attention to the paint that has been put to the walls and ceiling of your home. Confirm that the paint colors are proper, and that the wall surface is smooth and free of bumps and imperfections. Examine the vehicle to see if any cracks, chips, or scratches need to be repaired or repainted.

Last but not least, inspect your flooring and ceiling moldings. It has to be level. Keep an eye out for damaged or cracked tiles, as well as vinyl tiles. Bring someone with you, such as a trusted friend or family member, to double-check every nook and cranny of your residence. The contract should have been written in accordance with the contract specification and, if feasible, your specified furnishing.

Take a look at the Standard Furnishing
Then it's over to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Inspect the sink for leaks and other plumbing problems before continuing. If there are any built-in cabinets in the kitchen or the bedroom, they must be in excellent working order to be considered. The hinges should be well fixed and should not be able to move.

Make a note of the information you've gathered. Identify all of the furniture and fixtures that need repair and make a list of them. In certain cases, having a plumber evaluate the plumbing fittings may be quite advantageous.

Read the contract from beginning to end.
Make sure you read the small print of your contract and that you understand all of the terms and conditions that are specified in it. Also, check your property contract to see if there are any turnover fees or charges to be aware of. Consult with a professional to verify that there are no hidden expenses in the paperwork.

Taking a look at your schedule, Check your agreement, develop a list of the locations and things that need to be examined, and prepare questions for the contractors who will be doing the repairs and making any necessary changes.

It's a good idea to bring a relative or a friend who can provide a helping hand or give neutral input. It may also be good to have a plumber and an electrician evaluate the unit with you at the same time. They will be able to provide you with an evaluation right away.

Above all, show courtesy to everyone you encounter. Complain to the relevant personnel, such as those in charge of administration, and constantly strive to find a solution.

Make sure you are mentally and physically prepared for your home transition. Don't hurry through the home inspection process. Make use of all of the time available to you to ensure that you inspect every aspect of your future property. Don't become stressed up at the conclusion of the process if you discover any defects or have worries about your home. Identify all of the locations that need care, and then inquire with your contractor about any warranties that may be available for repairs or modifications.
