Handover assistance

Independent support during your home or apartment handover.

For private clients

During the handover of your new home or apartment, an independent building expert is by your side. We help identify, explain and carefully document points of concern.

HANDOVER ASSISTANCE

Provisional handover assistance

At the provisional handover of a home bought off-plan, you finally get to see the property in person. It is an important but stressful moment: all visible defects must be identified in a very short time.

HANDOVER ASSISTANCE

Final handover assistance

The developer or contractor may request final handover no earlier than one year after provisional handover. Once granted, minor defects can generally no longer be claimed against them.

A REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

A beautiful floor can still conceal serious defects.

Arthur Hugaert explains how cracks in the grout led to further investigation. Around 80% of the tiles sounded hollow; most of the floor was eventually removed because of poor adhesion.
