New-build apartment handover in Morocco: checks
Key handover is not merely a visual visit. It compares the delivered unit with agreed plans and specifications, records defects and organises follow-up.
Prepare an inspection checklist
Check windows, finishes, plumbing, electricity, ventilation, equipment and outdoor areas room by room, using contractual plans and documents.
Record precise defects
Describe the location and nature of each defect, add photographs and retain the signed record. Vague comments are harder to track.
Organise corrections
Clarify the contact, schedule and reinspection process. In parallel, prepare insurance, utilities, condominium matters and furnishing.
Prepare the handover inspection
Bring the plan, specifications and correspondence approving any changes. Prepare a room-by-room checklist covering doors, windows, sockets, lighting, ventilation and agreed equipment. Seek assistance for technical checks you cannot perform. Photograph each issue with its location and ask for observations to be recorded in the handover document under the procedure applicable to your purchase.
Organise follow-up
Organise observations by room with a photo, contact person and expected response. Check the result after work before closing an issue. Request equipment manuals, maintenance contacts and shared-area access arrangements. For remote handover, agree on the representative’s role and required documents in advance. Keep a clear record of what was observed and subsequently corrected.
