What should I pay attention to when buying a house in Hainan?

Matters needing attention in buying a house

Is the ownership of the house clear?

Some houses have multiple owners, such as heirs, families and couples. To this end, the buyer should sign a house sales contract with all owners. If only some * * * people dispose of the property owned by * * without authorization, the sales contract signed by the buyer with other * * * people is generally invalid.

Is the housing formalities complete?

The real estate license is the only proof that the owner owns the house. There is a great risk for the buyer not to get the house if he conducts the house transaction without the real estate license. The owner can mortgage or resell the real estate license, even if it is not obtained in the future, the owner can mortgage and resell it. Therefore, it is best to choose a house with real estate license for trading.

Is the house for rent?

Some second-hand houses (houses, agents, renting houses) have a material burden when they are transferred, that is, they are also rented out by others. If buyers only look at the property ownership certificate and pay attention to the transfer procedures, but not whether there is a lease, then it is very likely that buyers will get a property that cannot be moved in or used in time. Because China, including most countries, recognizes that "buying and selling does not break the lease", that is to say, the housing sales contract cannot compete with the previously established lease contract. This point is ignored by many buyers and intermediary companies in practice, and is also used by many sellers, which leads to more disputes.

Is the property management fee in arrears?

Some owners have long been in arrears in property management fees, electricity fees and gas (natural gas, heating and gas) fees when they transfer their ownership, and have already owed a lot of fees. The buyer bought the house without knowing it, and the buyer may have to bear all the expenses.

Is the contract clear?

Although the second-hand housing sales contract (housing, agency, renting) does not need to be as comprehensive as the commercial housing sales contract, it should also clearly stipulate some details, such as the contract subject, rights protection, housing price, transaction method, liability for breach of contract, dispute settlement, signing date, etc.
