There is often a lot of uncertainty around when home owners can take possession of their new home. While you may be eager to get inside, there are a few boxes which will need to be ticked first. Without doing this you may be putting yourself in both physical and financial risk.

What to do before taking possession:

1. Reconcile your final account with your builder – See: Receiving your final statement from your builder for further information.
2. Obtain your code of compliance & valuer's certificate
3. Ensure your builder has provided a clear council inspection, showing you that your home has passed.
