It is clear to all those who have bought a new house that the acceptance examination is the most critical step in the entire process of buying a house。
Many ordinary home buyers have saved up their lives to buy a flat, and have been waiting for it to be delivered, watching the new house rejoiced, the developers rushing to sign, the process rushing, and then signing directly. Once the signature has been completed, the property fees have been paid and the house is officially occupied, the problems of quality and privacy are slowly detected。
Once the signature has been confirmed, however, the initiative is fully in the hands of the developers. The process will be extremely difficult to correct, pursue and defend, and many minor issues will not even be addressed directly and will end up paying for them。
As is well known by the insiders, there are six core sites in the transfer chain, which developers fear the most from owners. It is also the key detail that most of the new owners are the easiest to ignore and the most difficult to remedy in the later stages. Today, speaking in plain language, whether you're in wuhan or in other cities, you'll be able to keep hundreds of millions of property rights out of 90 per cent of the pits。
First of all, understand: why do we have to be before we sign
The overwhelming majority of newcomers, the greatest lethal error sequence, is reversed。
Many follow the arrangements made by the developers to sign, pay fees and accept the house before being allowed to check in。
It is important to remember here the iron rule: pre-inspection, then signature, first detection of problems, then confirmation of admission。
As long as you do not sign up for the house, any quality defects in the house itself or the failure to meet the standards of construction are the responsibility of the developer, who has the obligation to do it free of charge, for a limited period of time, and to be fully entitled to refuse to do so, without having to bear any of the responsibilities and expenses involved。
As soon as you sign a confirmation of receipt, it means that you have approved the house as it is. Following the discovery of serious problems such as fragmentation of walls, water seepage, empty drums and shrinking areas, the nature of the problem has changed from one of quality of delivery to one of post-sales maintenance, with a significant reduction in the motivation of developers, a longer and more difficult advocacy cycle, and many legitimate claims that cannot be properly addressed。
The overwhelming majority of housing disputes and the loss of ownership are rooted in a reversal of order, early signature and loss of initiative。
Even if the developers are on the spot, they have to be sure that they do not complete the comprehensive inspection, do not record the problems, do not implement the corrective programme, do not sign and do not pay。
Two, the developers are panicking, and the six core items are the ones you're most afraid of being scrutinized
The following six items are the areas where developers are least prepared to allow owners to dig deep, which are the easiest to steal, and the most difficult to change at a later stage, each of which is directly linked to your security of residence, the value of the house, the cost of occupancy, and must be checked individually and without exception。
1. The entire house wall, the ground and large-scale empty drums on the top
The issue of empty drums is the highest, most common and most easily neglected fundamental issue in the delivery of new houses。
At the time of construction by the developers, there is a high risk of large-scale empty drums and false grass-roots levels in order to catch up on schedule and save costs, on the walls, on the ground, and on the ceiling concrete sand layers。
In the short term, the surface leveling does not appear to be a problem; once the bricks have been laid, the walls have been brushed and occupied for a year or two, there will be a series of problems, such as the fall of the bricks, the wide-scale cracking of the walls, the fall of the walls and the penetration of the water。
The overhaul would require the destruction of the work, which would not only be time-consuming and costly, but would also destroy what had already been done and would be costly。
The inspection must be carried out using professional tools and a house-to-house strike, and as long as the empty drums exceed the norm, they must be clearly marked, requiring the developers to go back to work and repair them thoroughly before they enter the yard, leaving no danger。
2. All-house water and cooking guards, balcony leakage
Water leak protection is the most hidden and severe of the consequences of new homes and the major problem that developers fear to be detected。
Kitchens, bathrooms, balconyes, outer walls and windows are the highest leaks. Many of the leakage problems are not apparent in the clear sky, and only after continuous rain or closed water testing will they be exposed。
If it was not discovered in advance at the time of the house collection, the water would not begin until the renovations had been fully completed and the house had been occupied, not only would the façade of the house have been broken, the furniture damaged, but it would also have leaked to the downstairs household, causing neighbourhood disputes and substantial compensation。
During the inspection, emphasis must be placed on checking whether the surface of the wall in all water-use areas is marked by water retide, requiring the site to re-examine the closed water to confirm that the water is intact and that there is no potential for leakage。
3. Reconciliation of the actual size of the house with the mortuary size
A large number of homeowners had never checked the actual size of the house, and the contract had been correctly marked。
In fact, there is an error in the actual interior space, the share area and the contract label at the time of delivery. It is very common to have a shrinking area and a high share。
The error is within the statutory reasonable limits and the developer is required to make up the difference in the house price; if the error is beyond the prescribed range, the owner has the right to opt out of the house directly or to claim additional compensation。
Many do not measure the entire journey, without any reason, without space, without payment, without knowledge。
At the time of the house collection, a simple measure of the physical width of the suite was made to check the size of the building, the interior area and the share ratio against the contract drawings and to avoid the loss of muted food on the core building area。
4. Quality of door and window works and sealed safety performance
House entrances, indoor doors and windows, with no eye for eyes, are a lot of pussy。
There are many developers' side doors and windows, such as slashing door frames, opening cartons, missing seals, leaks, poor hardware fittings and non-compliance with safety standards。
The quality of the doors and windows is not satisfactory, with very poor soundproofing, winter leaks, summer leaks, heat insulation and not only a significant discount on residential experience, but the replacement of windows and doors at a later stage will entail a significant additional cost。
At the time of the inspection, each of the doors and windows was closed individually to check the smoothness of the pull, the strength of the locks, the tightness of the seal, the absence of scratches of the glass, the integrity of the external wall adhesion and the fact that all of the non-qualified items required the replacement of the standard products by the original plant。
5. Hydropower pipeline layout and basic use function
Water and electricity are the hidden skeletons of the house, buried under the wall floor, and, once the retrofitting of the chute is completed, it will be difficult to repair at a later stage。
It focuses on: whether the power of power and weakness is separated from the cloth, whether all the plugs are functioning, whether the switch is accurately controlled, whether the site is securely controlled, whether the pipes are open, whether the water pressure is up to standard and whether there is a leak in the pipes。
Many of the hidden water and electricity construction work was carried out in the form of reduced materials, irregular wiring, poor plumbing quality, frequent jumps after occupancy, failure of waterways and extensive damage to the walls for repair and repair, which was extremely problematic。
It is essential that all checks be made in the gross state to confirm that the water and electricity works are safe and functional and that no hidden hazards remain。
6. Wall verticality, flatness and layer height error
The vast majority of ordinary owners do not pay any attention to such details as height, vertical wall flattening。
The developers work irregularly, and are prone to problems of high and low heights, vertically tilted walls and permafrost。
A slight error could not be seen in the eye, but later improvements in flooring, tailoring cabinets, installation of doors and windows could be accompanied by a failure to fit the cabinets, additional wear and tear of the furnishings, a total distortion of the custom furniture, a significant additional expense of renovations and a permanent inability to provide a critical collage。
A simple measure of the high margin of the entire floor is taken at the time of closing, the wall level is checked, the developers are asked in advance to find even amendments, and the next major trouble and expense is saved for the subsequent renovation。
Iii. The new owner's inspection, must uphold these key principles
Many owners, who had identified problems and failed to solve them properly, had no knowledge of the right process and the bottom line for rights protection, bearing in mind those points, and had not suffered any loss。
First, all issues, all written records retained。
Any defects or quality problems detected by the inspection office were included in the house order in a single piece of paper, signed by both parties, confirming that the photo and video were kept in complete evidence and that the verbal undertaking was not counted。
Secondly, it was agreed to clarify the time frame and criteria。
Rather than promises only oral corrections, specific completion dates must be specified, eligibility criteria to be met for the modifications must be specified, and the development of the relevant liability arising from the agreement during the reorganization period should be fully assumed。
Thirdly, there is an unreasonable request to refuse to pay a fee before the examination。
Any costs related to tax, maintenance funds, property and capital costs may be paid regularly after the inspection and confirmation of receipt, and there is no legal requirement for advance payment。
Fourthly, minor defects do not affect the right to refuse admission。
Even though there are more minor problems, there are no major major quality problems, and as long as the problem is not corrected, you have the full legal right to delay the house until all repairs have been completed。
Fifthly, important issues are directly regulated。
If fundamental problems such as the main structure of the house and the serious quality of safety are identified, no easy compromise should be reached, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the contract for the purchase of the house, by claiming compensation in accordance with the law and even by terminating the contract。
Iv. Whether or not ordinary people pay for a professional examination division
There are a lot of questions about whether or not the examiner should pay a professional extra。
If they do not have any knowledge of building improvements, have no experience with inspection, and receive a house in which they are delivered, it is highly recommended that the certified professional examiner should come to the door and examine it。
Professionals can identify deep hidden problems that are completely invisible to the eyes of ordinary people, produce complete standard inspection reports, and make improvements that are much more convincing and prioritized. This cost, in most cases, saves you the cost of subsequent repairs and the damage caused by the fit-out。
In the case of a simple delivery with a certain basic common sense, a patient and careful examination of each of the six above elements can also be carried out。
Final summary
Buying a house is the biggest consumption of ordinary people in their entire lives, and it can't afford to be half-wielding。
A developer's house is essentially a final handover of responsibility. Once you sign, a lot of responsibility will shift from developers to owners themselves。
The six places where the so-called developers are most afraid of identification are, in the final analysis, all core details related to housing security, the quality of living, the benefits of wallets and the experience of living in the coming decades。
In many cases, it is not the developers who deliberately want to cut down, but the vast majority of ordinary owners do not know, do not check, do not know, do not know, and end up in silence swallowing all the consequences of quality。
Always remember, before the moment you sign the house, you have all the power in your hands; once the pen is down, it's hard to defend it。
There is no need to make it difficult and no need to make it unreasonable and to be a legitimate and legitimate right of its own。
It takes half a day to examine the premises carefully, to identify problems and to implement modifications, not only to avoid the innumerable problems of staying, but also to protect millions of properties, with the most secure security。
Whether you just need the first suite or improve the replacement, don't be afraid of trouble, don't be soft, don't be confused and sign. Having gone through this process in earnest, the comfort of the next decade or so is your best reward。
