Snagging & Handover

Transition is defined as “the process or a period of changing from one state or condition to another.” Snagging and Handover are aimed specifically at a building in a transition phase from one stage of its life to the next. It could be from contractor to developer or developer to buyer, and these are just a few examples, but there are others.

No matter what your role in this process, whether you are an end-user, tenant, developer, financer, neighbor, contractor, or any other stakeholder, you will want a partner you can trust to assist you through the many twists and turns. And this is the role of Land Sterling’s Snagging and Handover. We work in apartments, villas, factories, offices, and all different types of built environment. 

With accumulated years of property management experience across the region, Land Sterling will support you through this transition phase with our readymade and bespoke solutions.

Our Process

We use a 3-step process for snagging & handover management for commercial and residential properties. Our RICS-certified experts carry out each step with great attention to detail to ensure that the property handover process stays as smooth as possible.  

Step 1: Snagging 

We start by taking a thorough look at the property to find major or minor snags. The presence of snags can have an impact on the market value of the property, depending on the severity of the issue. Our team has a great eye for detail, and they use a detailed approach to find defects in the property before handover.

Step 2: Handover Management

In this step, we take a look at the legal aspects of the handover. We prepare the owner’s documents and utility connections which serve as proof for the handover. We handle the entire documentation process for you so that you can prepare yourself mentally for the handover.

Step 3: The Handover

In this step, we collect the property documentation including the handover paperwork, homeowner manuals, appliance warranties, building keys, inventory, and more. Once we have everything for a smooth handover, we pass the deliverables on to you.
