The letter to the developer

Premium includes a letter you can send as it is. This is the example's.

To: [Developer], handover department

Subject: Apartment 14, [project], defects found at the pre-handover inspection on [date]

An independent inspection of the apartment on [date] found 8 defects, listed in the attached report with photographs and measurements. Two are critical: the balcony door does not seal (D-01), and there is damp under the bedroom 1 window (D-03).

The measured net floor area is 68.8 m², against 72.0 m² in the contract, a difference of 3.2 m².

I ask that the defects be fixed before I sign the handover act, and that the area difference be addressed under the terms of the contract. Please confirm a date for the repairs and for a re-inspection.
