Villa pre-handover inspection: A moisture meter held to a wall corner in an empty new villa

Villa pre-handover inspection Find the faults before you move in

A new villa can hide damp inside the walls or cracks in the concrete that the eye misses. We check with instruments before you sign the handover.

What the service includes

What the pre-handover villa inspection includes

  • Checking the roof: falls, drainage outlets, joints and parapet with instruments
  • Checking the interior and exterior walls with a moisture meter to find hidden damp
  • Checking bathroom and kitchen floors and tiled areas for leaks behind them
  • Checking the plumbing network, drains and connections to confirm they are sound
  • Recording cracks in walls and concrete and locating them to tell the types apart
  • Documenting each fault with its location and likely cause to support your claim with the contractor
How we work

From your call to the full check

  1. 1

    Tell us what you have

    Call or message us on WhatsApp and tell us where the villa is and what concerns you about the finish or the handover.

  2. 2

    Roof and drainage check

    We start with the roof: we check the falls, the drainage outlets, the joints and the parapet, which are the first points where water enters.

  3. 3

    Walls and bathrooms check

    We pass moisture instruments over the walls, bathroom floors and kitchen, and find any leak behind tiles or inside the wall without breaking anything.

  4. 4

    Documenting faults for the contractor

    We identify each fault with its location and likely cause, so you know exactly what to ask the contractor to fix before you take the villa.

Questions

Questions about Villa pre-handover inspection

A normal leak check starts after a specific problem appears. A pre-handover inspection covers every risk area in the villa at once: the roof, the walls, the bathrooms, the drains and the cracks, before any problem develops and it becomes hard to say who is responsible.

The most common areas are the roof at the joints and drainage outlets, bathroom floors behind the tiles, the walls around windows and the points where plumbing pipes enter the wall. These areas usually show their faults only after the first rainy season or after regular use begins.

Yes. When each fault is documented with its location and likely cause before handover, it is hard for the contractor to deny it or blame it on use. That documentation gives you a clear basis for any repair request before you sign the handover contract.

The simple thing that helps is making sure the plumbing network has water running through it before the inspection, if possible, so the drains and connections can be tested. The rest of the check needs no preparation: the walls, the roof and the tiles are checked as they are.

Tell us where the villa is, whether it is still under construction or ready for handover, what if anything you can already see, and what concerns you about the contractor's finish. The clearer the information, the more we can focus on the highest-risk areas.
