## What this service is not

This service is **handover assistance**, carried out by an independent building expert. **This is not a full survey**: the word « expertise » is reserved for [amiable, contradictory, court-appointed and counter-expertise assignments](https://cassini-expertise.fr/expertise-vefa-06-83/), which can follow, under a separate quote, if the developer disputes your snagging list.

## Frequently asked questions about VEFA handover fees

### What exactly do I receive?

**Package 1 (illustrated report)**: you leave on the day itself with the **illustrated report** — photos of the defects and the list of snagging items (réserves) — handed over on site before you leave. **Package 2 (with report)**: the same report on the day, then within 5 working days the **technical report** (instrumented measurements, cause analysis, classification of each defect) and the **technical snagging letter**, drafted by the expert and **ready to send to the developer**: all you have to do is sign it and post it by registered mail. Neither document is a full survey report (see below).

### How much does VEFA handover assistance cost?

From **€545 incl. VAT for a studio**, travel to Cannes and Antibes included. The fee depends on the type of property, rising to €745 incl. VAT for a T5 or larger. The package with a technical report starts at €745 incl. VAT.

### What is the difference between the illustrated report and the technical report?

The **illustrated report** is handed over on site on handover day: recorded snagging items, photos, enforceable against the developer. The **technical report** (Package 2) includes instrumented measurements (thermal camera, moisture meters, anemometer), cause analysis, classification of each defect and a technical snagging letter to the developer, ready to sign and send by registered post, delivered within 5 working days.

### Is this a full survey?

No. This is **handover assistance** carried out by an independent building expert. A full survey (amiable, contradictory, court-appointed, counter-expertise) can follow under a separate quote if the developer disputes your snagging list.
