For new-home buyers in South Africa
Got the keys? Let's make sure everything's right.
KeyCheck is your calm helper for handover — snag your home, tell your developer, and track every fix.
How it works
Step 1
Walk through room by room
Simple checklists show you what to look for. Snap a photo of anything that's not right.
Step 2
Send a professional report
A clean, dated PDF for your developer — share it on WhatsApp or email in one tap.
Step 3
Never miss a deadline
Countdowns for the 3-month, 1-year and 5-year warranty periods.
Three deadlines every buyer should know
Your warranty periods start on occupation day. KeyCheck counts them down and reminds you before they end.
3 months
Minor defects
Paint, tiles, doors, plumbing and finishes. Report them all in writing before this window closes.
12 months
Roof leaks
Leaks and water coming through the roof. Note any stains as soon as you see them.
5 years
Major structural defects
Cracks and failures in the structure itself, covered by the NHBRC warranty.
