Apartment handover: a 10-point checklist

Apartment handover: a 10-point checklist

What to check when receiving the keys — from wall geometry to system pressure.

The key handover is not a formality. Here is a checklist that turns acceptance into a one-hour task and saves your nerves and money.

What to bring

You will need a level, a tape measure, a phone charger to test sockets and a flashlight. All remarks go into the inspection act — the developer fixes them free of charge.

  • Wall and screed geometry — deviations up to 5 mm.
  • Windows: seal tightness, intact glazing.
  • Pressure in heating and water systems.

Nine out of ten remarks are fixed within a week — as long as they are in the act.
