Hello everyone, I am Li Tou, a home decoration veteran, a senior project manager who has been engaged in the decoration industry for more than ten years.
Recently, an owner has been busy moving and has been rushing to finish the construction period, so I haven't had time to update. Here I will also share with you a few photos of the decoration of this owner's home:
Overall, the effect is very good. The whole house of 318 square meters was completed in three months. If you include civil engineering and other projects, it took four months. Generally speaking, the progress is not bad.
Let’s get back to the business. Today we will share with you the process and precautions for receiving a house.
Home inspection is a systematic task and cannot be carried out blindly. Nowadays, there are many free home inspection companies on the market, which often use the guise of free home inspection to defraud the owner's information and even introduce unqualified guerrillas to get high rebates. This requires us to have a certain understanding of the time, process, precautions, etc. of the home inspection. If you hire a professional home inspection company, you should also know whether it is qualified.
Home inspection process:
Prepare home inspection tools or contact professional home inspectors - Check and inspect the property/house materials provided by the developer - Receive the key and conduct the home inspection with the accompanying person - Start the home inspection:
1, pass the inspection - hand over the key, sign the "Property Contract" and "Owner's Agreement" - pay the remaining fees/property fees and start house decoration/move-in (hard-decorated house)
2. Discover problems and propose improvement plans and solutions - Negotiate with the property/developer on solutions and actual results - Conduct secondary inspection after rectification is completed - Hand over the keys, sign the "Property Contract" and "Owner's Agreement" - Pay the remaining fees/property fees and start house decoration Repair/move-in (finely decorated house)
House inspection notes
1, check and accept according to the house inspection form: When inspecting the house, you must pay attention to the acceptance and make records according to the inspection and acceptance checklist. Remember to ask the house inspector to keep the house inspection form.
2, avoid being accompanied by developer personnel: Inexperienced owners can easily be swayed by their words.
3, be sure to inspect the house first and then take over the house: If you take over the house without inspecting the house, when serious problems occur during subsequent use, the responsibilities will not be clear and disputes will easily arise.
4, record the inspection results of the inspection agency: Serious quality problems are discovered during the home inspection. If the developer declares that the house has passed the inspection and acceptance by the quality supervision agency, it has the right to request the record of the inspection results. (For example, structural parts are cracked, large areas of honeycombs, water seepage, etc.)
5, the developer fails to perform the agreement, and the owner has the right to claim: For existing problems, a settlement agreement was signed with the developer but was not completed on time, and it affected the normal use of the house, the owner has the right to claim. (Especially for finely decorated houses, it is necessary to check the main material brand and model, etc. The price difference between different models of the same brand is very large)
6, the excess area can be disposed of at will without being informed: If the area of the house exceeds the purchased area and the developer has not informed in advance, the owner can dispose of the excess area at will.
7. The owner has the right to claim if the area is small: If the area of the house is significantly smaller than the contract, the owner has the right to claim. (Especially in the past two years, there have been many cases of opaqueness in public stalls.)
8, repairs are guaranteed according to the warranty period: after the house is started to be used, if there are still quality problems, the developer can be asked to solve them according to the warranty period in the contract.
This is the most basic home inspection form, which is what I am currently using. It is only for rough houses.
If you are looking for a professional home inspection company, you need to check whether the company and its personnel have industry licenses to ensure that it can help you inspect the quality of your house.
1, the company should have qualifications: a formal home inspection agency should have a "Business License", "Tax Registration Certificate" and other business qualification certificates, and have a formal office space, instead of standing on the roadside holding a sign.
,2, Home inspectors should have knowledge: Home inspectors should have relevant professional knowledge in civil engineering, water and electricity, decoration, etc., be able to skillfully use various inspection instruments, and be familiar with the national housing acceptance standards.
developer documents and signing notes
1) acceptance documents.Do not rush to take possession of the house for any reason. It is recommended to first review whether the relevant legal documents of the developer are complete. According to the " commercial housing sales contract ", when both parties conduct acceptance and handover, the developer should present "three documents, one certificate and one form". Including " Residential Quality Assurance Certificate ", " Residential Instruction Manual ", "Construction Project Quality Certificate", "Real Estate Development and Construction Project Comprehensive Acceptance Certificate" and "Complete Acceptance Registration Form".
2, check the area. You need to bring the original or a copy of the contract to check whether the drawings attached to the sales contract are consistent with the actual income. The sales area of an off-plan house is the contracted area. After completion, the developer should also ask the surveying unit to conduct actual measurement of the completed house. The actual measured area is the basis for the developer and owner to make an area settlement. It is necessary to pay attention to whether the house area has been verified by the real estate department and the contract signed area.
Must-read knowledge points for owners:
1. Incomplete documents may be rejected. If the documents provided by the developer are incomplete, even if the house does not have quality problems, it cannot legally be deemed to have been delivered to the owner. The owner has the right to require the developer to bear the liability for breach of contract for overdue delivery and refuse to sign.
2, pay attention to the area error value. Read the house sales contract carefully and confirm the area error value. Generally, the contract will be signed as 3% (it is recommended to set it as 2% when signing the contract). Therefore, the error value within 3% is within the normal range. If it exceeds a large amount, it should be dealt with.
,3, don’t rush to pay before the home inspection. Don't rush to pay property fees and other related fees before the home inspection. If the property management company urges payment, you can negotiate to pay after passing the inspection.
Today’s typing content ends here. In the next issue, I will explain the home inspection process and detail standards of rough houses in detail.
