We offer property owners with their pre-handover inspection conducted with the Property Developer . One of our property management team will attend the inspection either in conjunction with the new property owner and the developer's representative or on behalf of the property owner .

During the property handover period, property owners can be rushed through their handover inspection with the developer's representative and subsequently, many defective items can be missed during the inspection. Our team of Property Inspectors are trained and experienced in identifying faults that can be costly to repair once the warranty has expired. Exclusive Links will attend the handover inspection; the following items are just part of what will be checked for serviceability and quality control.
