Buying a home is a big dream, and the handover is the moment when it finally becomes real. If you have booked a home with Prestige Group, you might be getting your apartment handed over in 2025.

But what happens during the handover process? What should you be ready for? In this blog, we'll explain everything in simple words, so you know what to expect, step by step.

Prestige Group will send you an email or SMS when your apartment is ready for handover. You'll usually get this message 2 to 3 months in advance.

The message will include:

  1. The handover/possession date
  2. A list of steps to follow
  3. Payment details
  4. Who to contact for help

Before you get your keys, you need to pay the final dues. These include:

  1. Last payment instalment as per your payment plan
  2. Maintenance charges (usually paid for 1 year in advance)
  3. GST, stamp duty, and registration fees
  4. Getting a No Dues Certificate

Prestige will assign a CRM (Customer Relationship Manager) to guide you through these steps.

After payment, Prestige will help you register your apartment. Registration is done at the Sub-Registrar's Office.

Documents you'll get:

  1. Sale deed
  2. Occupancy Certificate (OC)
  3. Approved floor plan
  5. Project layout plan

Make sure you carry ID proof and any other papers Prestige asks for.

Before you get the keys, you can inspect your apartment. This step is called snagging.

You will check:

  1. Paint, walls, tiles, and flooring
  2. Doors, windows, and fittings
  3. Electrical points, lights, and switches
  4. Water taps, sinks, and toilets

If you find any small problems or damages, Prestige will fix them before you move in. This makes sure your apartment is in perfect shape.

Once everything is done, you'll receive:

  1. House keys and access cards
  2. A welcome kit with user manuals, warranty cards, and documents
  3. Contact info for maintenance staff and support team
  4. Details about your Homeowners' Association (HOA)

Now, your new home is officially yours!

After handover, you will be able to use the:

  1. Clubhouse and gym
  2. Swimming pool, parks, and walking paths
  3. Visitor parking, intercoms, and security services

Some of these might be opened in stages, depending on when other towers in the project are ready.

  2. Faulty fittings or damages caused during construction will be repaired
  3. You can raise service requests anytime

You will also have after-sales support to help you settle in.

You'll be informed 2–3 months before the handover date via email or SMS.
