After-sale handover: closing the practical details

Once the transaction steps are completed with the relevant professionals, organise a handover covering condition, keys, meters and fittings. Do not leave furniture, bills or documents to a vague verbal understanding. A clear record gives both parties consistent information.

Practical steps

1. Match included items against the agreed inventory
2. Record readings, keys, equipment and outstanding observations
3. Check utility transfers or closures with providers as applicable

General guidance. Consult qualified professionals on legal, financial and technical matters specific to your transaction.
