What if the original owner of the second-hand house doesn't pay the property fee?

The property fee for purchasing a second-hand house before delivery shall be paid by the original owner, and the property fee after delivery shall be paid by the buyer. If the original owner defaults on the property fee, it is based on the service contract between the original owner and the property management company, and in this legal relationship, the later buyer is not involved.

Therefore, buyers are not obliged to pay this part of the property fee. The transfer of house property right is not equal to the transfer of debt, and the buyer should let the property company and the original owner solve it through legal channels.

When the house is handed over, all the property rights procedures are transferred to the buyer, and the subsequent property fees are paid by the buyer. According to the Measures for the Administration of Property Service Charges:

Fifteenth owners shall, in accordance with the provisions of the property service contract, pay the property service fee or property service fund in full and on time.
