Before you sign the joint inspection form
Key day is the one chance to catch it for free.
Once you sign off on the joint inspection, most developers give you a fixed defects liability window to flag anything missed — and it's a lot harder to prove a defect was there on day one after you've moved your furniture in. RSVP below and we'll send you a room-by-room checklist to bring with you.

Why this matters
Most buyers walk in with nothing but a torch and good intentions.
The joint inspection happens fast, everyone's excited, and it's easy to sign off on a unit you haven't actually stress-tested. Skirting that's slightly hollow, a door that doesn't sit flush, a tap that drips under pressure — these are easy to miss standing in an empty unit, and slower to get fixed once you've moved in.
A checklist turns "does this look okay?" into a fixed sequence you run through room by room, so nothing gets waved through just because you were in a hurry to get the keys.
How the pros do it
Professional inspectors don't eyeball it — they run a sequence.
A proper inspection tags every point of concern, works through it methodically, and checks it off before moving to the next. You don't need the equipment to get the same rigor — just the same sequence.
That's what this checklist gives you: the same room-by-room categories a professional would run through, distilled into something you can bring along on key day.
What's inside
Six categories. One pass through the unit.
Flooring & tiling
Tap-tests for hollow tiles, grout lines, scratches, and level checks across every room.
Walls & ceiling
Cracks, uneven paint, skirting gaps, and ceiling stains that hint at plumbing above.
Doors & windows
Alignment, locking mechanisms, seals, and whether they open and close without dragging.
Sanitary & plumbing
Water pressure, drainage speed, leaks under the sink, and fittings that don't sit flush.
Electrical
Every switch and socket tested, trip tests on the DB box, and light fittings checked.
Built-ins & fittings
Wardrobe runners, kitchen cabinetry, and any fitted appliances included in your unit.
How it works
Three steps, no back and forth.
