### First Impressions Matter
Your new tenant's first experience of the property is **collecting the keys**. Do it right and you're off to a good start. Do it badly and you're fielding calls all week.

Good to Know
> 🎯 **Legal tip:** Document the exact time and date of key handover - that's when the tenant's responsibility for the property officially starts. **Complex properties?** If there's loads to explain (listed building, complicated heating, shared access etc), let me know. I can spend longer on the walkthrough. **Furnished properties?** I can walk them through what's included and point out the inventory items so they know what's theirs to use. **Student properties in Exeter?** Often multiple tenants moving in separately. I can do individual handovers or wait for everyone to arrive together - whatever works.
Frequently Asked Questions about Key handover service in Tiverton
What's included in the key handover?
I meet your new tenant at the property, hand over all keys, show them what's what (front door, back door, meter cupboard etc), and point out anything important. Quick walkthrough of how things work if needed. Professional first impression.
Why wouldn't I just post the keys?
Because meeting the tenant means you can show them stuff - how the tricky back door lock works, where the stopcock is, which key is which. Plus you know they've actually got the keys and tested them. Saves panicky calls later.
Can you do evening or weekend handovers?
Yes - tenants often can't do office hours. I can meet them whenever works for their schedule (within reason). Saturdays are popular for move-ins.
What if the tenant doesn't show up?
I'll wait the agreed time and keep you informed. If they're genuinely not coming, we'll reschedule. But usually people show up when they're getting keys to their new home!
Do you explain how things work?
Yes - I'll show them the basics. How the heating works, where the fuse box is, which bin is which, any quirks the property has. Nothing in-depth, but enough to get them started.
