Viewings & handover
Viewings and handover
We show your property only to vetted applicants in individual appointments. We record the handover in a protocol so that nothing is in dispute when the tenant moves out.
In short
What does a good handover of a rental apartment look like?
With a written handover report that records the condition of every room, the meter readings and the number of keys, signed by both parties. Photos supplement the report and prevent disputes when the tenant moves out.
Why this matters
What goes wrong at viewings and handover
Most disputes at move-out have their origin at move-in.
A poor first impression, no conversation, no assessment. Good tenants drop out when they feel like a number.
Still let or owner-occupied? Appointments must be coordinated with the current occupant, considerately and in line with the law.
Without a documented condition, meter readings and number of keys, every point is open to dispute when the property is returned.
Still thinking it over? Then let's start with the rent.
A free assessment of the rental value places you under no obligation. Afterwards you will know what your property can realistically earn and can decide in your own time.
