Possession Check
Take the keys with a list, not a surprise.
For new flats at handover: the full damp scan plus the snags that let water in, numbered and located so the builder's site engineer can act on each one.

Timing
Before you sign the acceptance letter. Before the carpenter arrives.
Book for the builder's possession or pre-possession inspection. Damp found now is the builder's to fix, inside the defect liability window. Damp found after fit-out means breaking new tiles, panelling and paint.

Damp scan, new-construction focus
Where new flats usually leak first.
- 01Bathroom floor waterproofing
- Readings on walls and ceilings around and below every bathroom, before tiles and fittings hide a failure.
- 02Grout and sanitary joints
- Wall-tile grout, joints at the WC, basin and shower mixer, and the floor trap surround.
- 03Balcony and utility slope
- A bucket test to see whether water runs to the drain or towards the door.
- 04External walls
- Cracks, plaster joints and the band where the wall meets the slab, on the rain-facing side.
- 05Window frames
- Gaps between frame and plaster, sill slope and the corners.
- 06Shaft walls
- The wall beside the plumbing shaft, where a joint in a stack shows first.

Questions before possession
When is the best time?
At the builder's possession or pre-possession inspection, ideally before you sign the possession acceptance letter and before interiors start.
Is this a full snag list?
No. It covers damp and the visible defects that let water in. It is not a full civil, electrical and plumbing snag list, and the page lists what is in and out.
Will the inspector argue with the site engineer?
No. The inspector records, photographs and locates each finding. The report is numbered so the site engineer can act on each item; the discussion is yours.
What is the free re-scan?
One visit within 90 days to re-scan the areas the builder repaired, compared against the original readings.
Can I book before the builder gives a date?
Yes. Tell us the expected month and we will hold a slot once the builder confirms the date.
