What should I prepare for a Kounali handover walk-through?

Build the checklist from the documents

Use the agreed specification, inventory and relevant correspondence to prepare a checklist for the particular home. Ask who will attend the proposed handover walk-through and how observations will be recorded. A generic viewing checklist may miss furnishings, equipment or finishing details that were specifically agreed for your purchase.

Check operation as well as appearance

Ask for demonstrations of relevant systems, access controls and equipment. Review supplied keys, manuals and service contacts against the agreed handover arrangements. Note visible issues clearly, with room locations and photographs where appropriate, rather than relying on a broad statement that something needs attention.

Record unresolved matters carefully

Ask who will respond to each outstanding item and how follow-up will be documented. Distinguish an observation list from any acceptance or release wording you are asked to sign. Have your independent lawyer explain the effect of handover documents and your engineer advise on technical concerns. Do not assume the walk-through itself resolves contractual obligations or confirms every aspect of construction quality.
