New-Build Handover Toolkit

The New-Build Handover Toolkit is a complete inspection and reporting system for new-build buyers in the UK. For £69, a one-time purchase, you get a 268-point room-by-room checklist, photo evidence capture, severity classification, professional PDF reports, email templates for developer communication, a defect vs wear and tear guide, an issue timeline and diary, and an escalation pathway guide for when the builder won't act. Use it at handover, during early occupancy, and throughout the warranty period.

What the inspection covers

The checklist covers every area of a new-build property from exterior and whole-property checks through to individual rooms, garage and loft, adapted to your property type and number of bedrooms.

Logging issues with photo evidence

Each issue is logged with a description, severity rating and photos attached directly, creating a clear, dated record tied to specific defects.

Generating a professional report

The PDF report includes property details, inspection summary and full issue log with severity ratings and photos. Ready to send to your developer or warranty provider.

Why documentation at handover matters

Issues raised with evidence during the defects period are handled differently to those raised months later without a record.
