My SS mentioned that all the appliances (rangehoods, stoves, hot water, ducted vaccum unit etc) will be done on the day after the handover. Can someone please advise if this is normal practise? I was in the assumption that this needs to be done a day before or on the same day as handover. This would have given the opportunity for us to inspect the appliances and its intallation pre to agreeing for settlement. Any suggestions/advise is most welcome.
