Pre-Handover and Handover Inspection

This pre-handover and handover inspection checklist helps property and facilities teams confirm a development is ready to accept. It covers access details and development appearance, required notices and signage, meter readings for electricity, water, and gas, and a comprehensive review of mechanical and electrical systems including aerial and satellite, air conditioning, boiler rooms, booster pumps and tanks, car park ventilation, CCTV, door entry, dry risers, emergency lighting, fire extinguishers, foul pumps, lifts, lightning protection, mansafe systems, mechanical gates, and smoke vents. The template also checks external items such as drains, lighting, paving, roofs, guttering, fences, and waste, plus internal items like entrance doors, post boxes, flooring, lighting, stairs and handrails, fire doors and seals, service cupboards, compartmentation, and general damage. Use it to document issues, agree handover, and capture signatures.
