Hello,

the interior finishing is in the final stage.
I do not have a key yet, as it will only be handed over upon takeover.

Unfortunately, the developer is currently doing everything to prevent me from entering the property. When I request a meeting, there is no response. When I want to pick up the key, it is not handed over.

So far, I have noticed various defects when I was on the construction site. For example, misaligned sinks, damaged flooring caused by craftsmen... Accordingly, the developer probably does not want me to be on the premises anymore.

Is this permissible??
I can hardly believe it. So far, the developer has not been known for supervising the work of the craftsmen. He organized the building surveyor for acceptance himself and was on the construction site with him—without my knowledge and presence. If I am no longer allowed to check anything now, who then?
Do I have the right to supervise the work on the construction site?

Kind regards

Who is the client - you or the developer or the general contractor? If you are building with a developer, you are not allowed to enter the house (unless something else is fixed in the contract), since you are not yet the owner of the house. You can sensibly organize an expert for the acceptance only yourself (at your own expense). Without one, I would not accept the house.

Thank you for the quick response. What exactly is a GU? Hm.. I don't think the contract explicitly states that I have access at any time. The transfer of ownership has not happened yet.

Since you are working with a developer, you generally do not have the right to enter "their" house.

The developer only has the obligation to hand over a house free of defects to you. What happens during the construction phase is none of your concern, or you should have regulated it contractually.
Whether you can decide at the handover if the house is free of defects is something I doubt.... so be sure to bring an expert for the acceptance, or have it checked beforehand.
