What's the difference between house delivery and property delivery?

The meaning of house delivery is that the house seller delivers the house to the house buyer for possession, which is a transfer of possession, mainly manifested in the handover of keys. Property delivery mainly refers to the delivery of ancillary facilities and equipment, decoration and related items, as well as the delivery of property management fees, heating fees, water, electricity, gas, cable TV, telecommunications and other expenses.

What is house delivery?

Housing delivery means that real estate development enterprises deliver the houses that meet the delivery conditions to the buyers of commercial housing on schedule according to the relevant laws and regulations and the relevant commercial housing sales contracts or commercial housing pre-sale contracts, and the buyers of commercial housing inspect the commercial housing and take over the houses.

House delivery is the behavior that the seller delivers the completed house to the buyer. In case of late delivery, liquidated damages for delayed performance shall be paid. If there are quality problems or hidden defects after delivery, the seller shall bear the warranty responsibility. If the repair is refused or delayed within a reasonable period of time, the buyer may repair it by himself or entrust others to repair it, and the repair expenses and other losses during the repair period shall be borne by the seller.

What does property delivery mean?

Refers to the settlement of electricity, water, heating, gas, broadband and other expenses related to the house and the transfer of fixed assets after the house transfer is completed. Usually it is done one day before the transfer or within three days after the transfer.

Three points that must be paid attention to in property delivery

1. The ancillary equipment of the house needs acceptance.

When the property is delivered, it is necessary to check and accept the ancillary equipment of the house, among which the problems such as sewer blockage and wall seepage are easily overlooked. The attached household appliances and furniture should be accepted according to the contract. It is clear in the general contract that the seller cannot breach the contract on the quantity and brand of furniture and household appliances.

2. The expenses need to be settled.

When the property is delivered, it is necessary to check whether the seller has settled all the service fees of the house, including water, electricity, gas, telephone, television, internet and property management fees. The seller needs to confirm that all expenses have been settled before both parties can handle the relevant transfer procedures, otherwise the buyer will bear the risk of unnecessary expenses.

3. The registered permanent residence must be moved out.

In addition to the transfer of ownership, the seller's account did not move out in time, which is also one of the most controversial factors. Therefore, the buyer can go to the relevant departments one day before the delivery date to inquire whether the seller's account has moved out. If the seller's account cannot be moved out before the house is handed over, the buyer must make a clear agreement with the seller on this issue.
