Although second-hand housing is much less than new housing, it is also a lot of money. We should also be vigilant in second-hand housing transactions to avoid being deceived. When choosing to buy second-hand houses, these work must be done.
1. Find out the condition of the property
Before purchasing a second-hand house, the buyer must find out whether there is a problem with the property right of the second-hand house. The first step is to ask the seller to provide the property right certificate, identity certificate, qualification certificate and other documents; The second step is to check the source and records of the property rights of the purchased real estate with the relevant real estate management departments, including the owner, file number, registration date, transaction price, etc.
2. Inspect the surrounding environment of the house
The buyers' inspection on the supporting facilities of the house mainly includes: water quality, water pressure, power supply capacity, gas supply, heating supply and charging standard, as well as the definition of TV reception. If they visit the surrounding neighbors, they will have a deeper understanding of the environment and living convenience here. We should also pay attention to whether there are pollution sources around the house, such as noise, harmful gas, water pollution, garbage, etc., as well as the surrounding environment, community security, hygiene and cleaning.
3. Understand the current use of the house
If the buyer only looks at the real estate certificate and only pays attention to the transfer procedures without paying attention to whether there is a lease, the buyer is likely to get a real estate that can not be checked in or used in time. China, including most countries, recognizes that "the sale does not break the lease", that is, the house sales contract cannot resist the previously established lease contract.
4. Select reliable intermediaries
If buyers buy second-hand houses through intermediaries, they must find formal intermediary companies. After selecting the intermediary company, select the right person. After all, large intermediary companies also have poor services, and small intermediary companies also have good services.
5. Agree on the payment method and time of the house payment
If you buy a second-hand house through an intermediary, you generally have to sign two contracts, namely, the house sales contract signed with the house property owner and the real estate intermediary contract signed with the intermediary company. When signing the real estate intermediary contract or house sales contract, the buyer shall pay the down payment or deposit for the house purchase. Remember that this payment shall be handed over to the seller in person and the Seller shall issue a receipt.
6. Confirm when the account will be moved out
In order to avoid problems caused by household registration migration, buyers should strengthen self-protection when purchasing second-hand houses. When signing the contract, they should agree on the terms related to household registration migration. They should not only clearly agree on the time when the original property owner's household registration will be moved out, but also clarify the legal consequences of not moving in time.
7. Be careful to retain evidence
After signing the written contract for the second-hand house, there may be minor changes in the payment time by the seller or the buyer, such as the seller agreeing to the buyer's payment one or two days later than the date agreed in the contract. Therefore, both parties should pay attention to retain the evidence in the negotiation process, including video recording, call recording, SMS recording, wechat recording, etc. they can also sign a new written agreement.
The above is about how to buy a second-hand house more safely. In the process of buying a second-hand house, there are many places that need your attention. The points mentioned above are common. For the handling of second-hand house transaction procedures, both the buyer and the seller should take it seriously and confirm it again and again to avoid disputes after the transaction.
