For a Sundowner property handover, provide the deadline, access arrangements and known alterations early so the inspection and possible follow-up have a realistic timetable.

01

State the deadline and the actual need

Explain whether you need a compliance inspection, existing document review or investigation of a reported fault. A date on a transaction timetable does not establish the condition of the installation. Avoid assuming that booking one visit guarantees every required action can be completed immediately.

  • Handover date and requested inspection purpose
  • Available records and known additions
  • Access and prompt approval contact
02

Prepare the property information

Gather existing records and list supplied structures, backup systems and later electrical changes. Arrange access with occupants and key holders. Missing documents or unavailable rooms should be disclosed before attendance so the proposed scope reflects the information and access actually available.

03

Allow for findings and decisions

Confirm who will receive findings, approve any corrective work and arrange further access. Keep inspection, repairs, retesting and document delivery as distinct steps in the record. This makes it easier to communicate a realistic position to the relevant parties without describing pending work as complete.
