??!! is right take the key first...

Usually the developer's representative will make an appointment to show you around the house, whilst you're there with the rep remember to ask for the defect rectification form.

Also there will be an inventory checklist that the representative will ask you to sign. In that form there will be a list of things such as the number of taps, electricity socket, kitchen sink, etc.

Go through the inventory list with the rep. and make sure everything is present, installed and accounted for in the house before signing the inventory list.

BTW if your unit is a house with gates bring along a few good padlocks (2 should suffice) so you can lock the front and back gate!

Also when you submit the defect list, the developer will ask you for a set of the house keys so the contractor can enter and fix the defects. I know most folks don't like to give away house keys but you can change the locks later and install metal grilles with additional padlocks.

Go spot check and visit your house regularly during this period.

Good luck and show lah some pics of your new house
