This is a question that many people are interested in. Let's take a look with the overseas immigration network! The following is the relevant information I have compiled. Welcome to reading.

How to test the property quality in New Zealand?

New Zealand's real estate construction industry often hears a term called CCC, which translates into Chinese to refer to the "building certificate" of a house. This certificate is examined and issued by the district council where the property is located. A building without a certificate of conformity means all kinds of risks. Therefore, starting from 20 15, for projects costing more than NZ $30,000, builders must give written contracts with construction quality and insurance clauses. 20 15 may, the government also issued a new house 1 year warranty requirement. During this period, the developer should be responsible for any defects and problems in the house and put forward corresponding solutions. If there is a problem with the legality of building a house, of course you can't buy it. If there is a big problem in the current situation of the house, even if there is a small problem, you can find the owner to repair or reduce the price.

What needs to be added is that it is best not to ask friends for help, especially if the buyer wants to buy a relatively expensive house. Although inviting friends can save the inspection fee, no one will be responsible if something goes wrong. Some large professional housing appraisal companies will also provide guarantees for qualified houses for one year or more, and will also provide guarantees for the buyer's home insurance company, so once there is a quality problem, the housing appraisal company will be responsible.

Buyers should find architects and lawyers in advance before buying a house. When they like the house, the architect will check the legality of the house, whether the documents are complete, whether there is reconstruction and expansion, and whether there is necessary approval according to the requirements of the buyer. In addition, the architect should check the appearance of the house for the witness to determine whether there are major problems, such as water leakage and mildew. Even if minor problems are found, the buyer can ask the owner for maintenance or give corresponding preferential treatment before handing over the house. House inspection is generally carried out after the handover of the conditional contract.

It's best to find an architect from outside and a bigger professional housing appraisal company. Lawyers are also important to buyers. Although lawyers are all sitting in the house to collect money, they can help buyers check the legality. The most important thing is to check whether the owner has a loan and whether there are bad debts linked to the house to ensure that the house transaction is legal and smooth. Therefore, when buying a house, you should find a responsible lawyer. Of course, it is best to speak Chinese or have a Chinese translator.

What should be paid attention to in New Zealand real estate quality inspection?

First of all, from the outside of the house, if it is a new house, make sure that the mailbox has been installed. If the driveway is cement, make sure that the ground is uniform. Many times, due to poor construction coordination, some houses have to open the paved cement floor, so it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the subsequent paved cement floor is consistent with the original flatness. Look carefully at the outer wall from bottom to top to see if there are obvious cracks. If it is an old house, pay attention to whether there are cracks in the joints around the windows.

Then you have to go inside the house to check. Usually, many people go in and have a rough look. If there are too many rooms, they often miss the inspection. The best way is to go in clockwise or counterclockwise, and don't disturb the inspection order. According to the common house layout in New Zealand, the inspection sequence is usually porch-corridor-kitchen-dining room-reception room-master bedroom-master bedroom indoor bathroom-guest room-independent bathroom-laundry room-garage. Of course, if there is a second floor, you should carefully check the corridors and passages and the rooms upstairs.

When checking the kitchen, try to turn on all electrical equipment for testing. Make sure that water flows through the food masher before opening it. In addition, if it is a relatively new house, remember to ask the seller for the instructions and warranty of all electrical equipment. There are also some necessary instructions, such as how to change the password of your alarm clock and so on. Therefore, if you have problems in the future, you should know how to find maintenance or use. If it is a new house, make sure that there is a Mense behind every bedroom or bathroom door.

When checking the bathroom, if it is a new house, pay attention to whether the shower nozzle is firmly fixed on the wall: the easiest way is to shake it. In addition, if there is a bathtub in the bathroom, be sure to pay attention to whether there are serious scratches on the bottom, because many new houses will throw decoration garbage into it until the decoration is completed, so even if it is a new bathtub, there will be many scratches at that time. Many times, developers will carry out maintenance during the final inspection, but small developers will not notice these. In addition, there are some small details, such as whether the shelves in the closet in the room are correctly installed and fixed on them. Your loan manager can provide you with a handover list at any time if necessary.
