Preparing for handover

The keys are close.
Get the file ready.

A handover notice can bring several decisions at once. Make the documents, payment questions and next actions easier to see.

Independent support from Cendale. Official processes stay with DLD and authorised channels.

Before the appointment

Prepare with purpose.

01

Read the notice

Identify the unit, proposed date, stated conditions and contact route. Keep any revised notice with the original.

02

Reconcile the statement

Compare the amounts requested with your records and ask for a breakdown of unfamiliar entries.

03

Plan attendance

Confirm who needs to attend, what they must bring and whether any representation needs advance approval.

A practical checklist

Do the right checks
at the right moment.

  • Keep the signed SPA, payment receipts and Oqood copy together.
  • Obtain written answers to unresolved document or balance questions.
  • Agree separately how any technical inspection will be handled.
  • Record the documents, access items and keys you are given.
  • Ask about the title-deed application and the next point of contact.

Before you begin

A few useful
answers.

Is this a snagging inspection?

No. This support concerns the documents, payment position and coordination around handover. A physical inspection or technical defect assessment is a separate service.

Should I make a final payment based on an emailed bank account?

Confirm the payment instruction through a trusted, independently verified channel and match it to your contract and current statement. Ask for an explanation of any changed account details.

Does this include obtaining my title deed?

The title-deed route can be assessed alongside handover. Any assistance with that process is defined separately so you know exactly what the instruction covers.
