What this means
Use the date supported by your own documents, then leave enough time for the process that follows the inspection.
A closing DLP review can examine the wider accessible home, selected open items or earlier repairs. The useful scope depends on the homeowner's evidence decision, while formal dates, rights and submission requirements remain tied to the actual SPA and property records.
Practical sequence
Eight steps before the applicable DLP milestone
The sequence prepares usable evidence without implying that an inspection changes contractual dates or preserves legal rights.
02
Gather the defect history
Collect earlier reports, submitted lists, acknowledgements, responses, access appointments and repair updates.
03
Define the review decision
Choose whether the visit should examine the wider accessible home, focus on important open items or verify selected repairs.
04
Prepare access and utilities
Make agreed areas accessible and confirm water, electricity, keys, access cards and management permissions.
05
Separate new and repaired items
Record new concerns independently, and compare earlier items with the same original baseline and intended outcome.
06
Keep Not Checked visible
Do not treat inaccessible, unsafe or out-of-scope areas as passed. Refer specialist questions to the appropriate competent person.
07
Leave practical follow-up time
Allow for reporting, clarification, the developer's channel and specialist or legal advice where required.
08
Preserve the submitted record
Keep the exact version sent, submission date, channel, acknowledgement and every later response.

Get Instant QuoteIs every Malaysian new-home DLP date the same?
Do not assume so. Confirm the signed SPA, vacant-possession records and advice that apply to your property. DPM does not calculate the legal date.
Will an inspection extend my DLP?
No such promise is made. The inspection records accessible condition and evidence. Any effect on rights or deadlines requires the applicable contract and legal advice.
Should I reinspect the whole home or only earlier defects?
Choose the scope from your decision, property history, access and budget. A wider review and a repair-verification visit answer different questions.
What happens if utilities are not available?
Checks that depend on those utilities may be Not Checked or need suitable follow-up. The limitation remains part of the record.
Can I send the report directly to the developer?
Follow the developer's actual process. Keep the submitted version, channel, date and receipt.
