Before you take possession of your newly built home, a handover inspection (also known as a practical completion inspection) is crucial to ensure everything has been completed to the required standard. Our handover inspections in Melbourne provide a thorough assessment of your property identifying any defects.

A handover inspection is a detailed examination of your newly built property before final settlement.
