Finishing quality
Walls, floors, paintwork, tiling, doors, windows and visible completion points.
New-build handover
New-build handover check abroad
A new-build property abroad still deserves careful handover attention. Finishing, installations, documents, common areas and visible defects should be checked locally.
Technical attention
Handover is the moment to make visible points concrete
BSP helps buyers structure handover questions and, where appropriate, involve local technical specialists before accepting or relying on delivery quality.
Local engineers, building surveyors, inspectors, contractors and specialists must assess condition, standards, risks, permits, repair costs, hidden defects and practical feasibility locally.

FAQ
Questions about technical inspection
Is a new-build handover check necessary?
It can be very useful. New-build can still have visible defects, missing finishing, installation issues or documentation gaps.
Does BSP approve the handover?
No. BSP does not provide technical approval. Local inspectors or specialists must assess delivery quality.
When should handover points be recorded?
Preferably during or before formal handover, while follow-up with the developer or contractor is still clear.
Can a check guarantee there are no hidden defects?
No. It helps identify visible and reviewable points, but cannot guarantee that no hidden issues exist.
