Turn Over Process

The turnover process is the most important to a new homeowner because this is when the property finally changes hands. Because we know how important this is to you, we would like to share some guidelines to make the transition smooth and satisfactory for both parties.

1. Completion of unit will commence upon issuance of Authority-To-Turnover (CLEARANCE) by DMCI Homes Documentation Department.
2. Completion date: Thirty (30) days for single condominium unit. Forty-five (45) days for tandem condominium units. Approximately twelve (12) months for unit construction.
3. Punchlisting/inspection by the client will be scheduled after the completion date.
4. Rectification of punchlisted items will be done immediately but completion date may vary depending on the nature of the punchlisted items.
5. Client is responsible in settling all required fees & deposits prior to unit turnover.
6. Homeowner Orientation of community house rules, policies & regulations is done during handover of unit.
7. Handover kit and welcome gift is given to client upon acceptance of unit.
8. Upgrade/improvements for his unit will be allowed only after the acceptance of unit.
9. Note that certain warranties may be voided by any unit material alteration.

Buyer Acceptance

If the buyer fails to inspect and accept the unit within thirty (30) days from the date of notice that the unit is ready for turnover, it shall be deemed that the buyer has automatically accepted the unit.

Acceptance by a Representative

If the registered buyer is not available on the scheduled turnover of unit, his/her duly authorized representative can accept the unit in his/her behalf. The representative must be designated as a duly notarized Special Power of Attorney (SPA).

The unit turnover cannot be delayed on account of SPA’s availability schedule.
