After completing the formalities, it is easy to succumb to emotions and treat the handover of the premises as a mere formality. Meanwhile, a reliably prepared document guarantees peace of mind. It protects the buyer from someone else's bills and relieves the seller of responsibility for the premises.
Key elements during the handover of the premises
In the euphoria associated with the move, we often forget several important details. It is worth paying attention to the following issues:- Meters with a photo for electricity, water, and gas, which facilitates the later transfer of agreements.
- A complete set of accessories, such as gate remotes, key fobs for the staircase, keys to the basement, or the intercom code.
- Warranty cards and operating manuals for the left-behind household appliances and the boiler service book.
- Contact details for the building manager or administrator and the housing association.
