Three things to fix on this extension before it's handed over.

1. Plinths still to fit.
2. A few small holes in the plasterboard, left over from the electrician: fill, then paint.
3. An architrave around a door lining that still needs finishing.

That's how a house is ready for handover, not just finished.

If it isn't on the schedule of works, it isn't in the price.

One line for "kitchen" tells a lender nothing. Break it down: units, worktop, appliances, plumbing, electrics and tiling, so every piece can be priced and checked. Choices are made once and written down, every builder prices the same job, and any change is priced and approved before it's built.

Building on finance? Before the lender releases the next stage, check four things: is the stage's work actually done line by line, does it meet the spec on the schedule, was the hidden work checked before it was covered, and are any changes priced and approved in writing?

What's behind the walls of a finished open-plan lounge and kitchen in an HMO?

This is one room on a Nottingham conversion, from strip-out to finished. Before a single board went on: the cables for every light, socket and alarm point, the water and waste runs, and a new rooflight opening.

Once it's boarded, it's boarded. Checking first fix before the walls close means nothing gets cut back open later.

Converting an HMO you can’t be on site for?

A busy site still needs clear checks. Agree the scope, keep changes recorded and check what has been completed before the next stage payment. Our Get You On Site approach brings the schedule of works, layouts and site checks together.

Same kitchen, same rooflights: bare plaster on 7 May, units going in on 22 May, then finished.

This is the shared kitchen on a six-bed HMO in Nottingham. In a shared house the kitchen is planned for the number of people using it, with enough cooking, sink and storage space for the council's amenity standards.

Studios drawn right on the size limit?

The finished room is what needs checking. Allow for plasterboard and insulation when reviewing the layout, and check the applicable local requirements before the walls are closed up. A measurement at stud stage gives you a chance to catch a problem while the structure is visible.

This loft room started as bare rafters. Then fresh plaster in April, the kitchenette going in at the end of May, then finished.

It's now a double room with a desk, storage in the eaves, its own kitchenette and an en-suite. Getting all of that into a loft comes down to planning early: where the pipes and cables run, where you can stand up, and what fits under the slope.

Will your lender fund these works as drawn?

Raise that question early with your lender or broker. The layout, schedule of works and builder’s price need to describe the same project. Getting those details together gives you something clear to discuss before the build moves on.

Same top-floor room: the shower frame waiting in an empty room, then the finished en-suite.

This is the top floor of a six-bed HMO in Nottingham. An en-suite packs a lot into a small space: waste pipes with enough fall, hot and cold supplies, extraction, waterproofing behind the finish and electrics that are safe for a bathroom. That's why they're planned on the drawing early, not squeezed in later.
