During the contract transfer appointment, you should ensure:
- All parties are happy to continue with the transfer
- The rent account of any BA contract holder is clear
- All contract holders, parties and landlords are present
- Those accepting a BA property make at least the first weeks rent, water and service charge
- The RHW10 forms are signed by all contract holders and landlords
- A copy of the signed RHW10 forms are provided to all parties including a copy of the original contract, along with an RHW2 form, a copy of the latest gas and electrical certificates
- Any other relevant paperwork is completed e.g. council tax form, direct debit forms, contents insurance applications (BA contract holders contents insurance will not transfer and therefore a new application should be made where required)
- Contract holders have arranged to swap keys
