What should I pay attention to when buying or selling a house?

Problems that should be paid attention to when delivering property:

About water, electricity, gas, telephone and cable TV. All matters needing attention when the property is delivered:

1, water meter verification and water fee settlement

The new owner must ask whether the original owner paid the water fee before handing over the house, and don't forget to keep the water fee receipt paid last month for future inquiry and evidence collection.

2, electricity meter inspection and electricity bill settlement

When the house is handed over and accepted, the new owner, accompanied by the original landlord, must personally check whether the meter has been moved, modified and the line direction is normal, and keep the receipt of the electricity bill paid last month.

3, gas meter inspection and gas fee settlement

According to the regulations of the gas company, the buyer and the seller must go through the transfer formalities with the gas department together with the house sales contract. The house sales contract has stated that the house price includes the gas facility fee, the ID cards of both parties and the gas fee paid by the original owner one month before the delivery date. If there is no agreement or the agreement is not clear, the gas department may refuse to handle it.

4. Telephone bill settlement

Some families have installed multiple telephone lines, and the new business is mainly asked clearly. The new owner can ask the original owner to remove the telephone, and then apply for installing the telephone separately. If it is really necessary to use the original owner's phone line or number source, you should go to the telecommunications department with the original owner to handle the settlement bill as of the delivery date before the delivery.

5. Cable TV transfer and cable TV fee settlement

Cable TV implements the system of one household and one card. Because some second-hand houses are vacant and usually uninhabited, the original owners have not paid the monthly cable TV fee, resulting in arrears. Over time, the cable station will be terminated.

Therefore, when handing over the house, the new owner can ask the original owner to submit the cable TV fee collection certificate of last month and the cable TV initial installation certificate. The new owner can handle the transfer formalities with the above two materials and the new real estate license.

6. Ancillary facilities

Generally speaking, new owners should check and accept ancillary facilities, equipment, decoration, household appliances, furniture, etc. when handing over the house, especially pay attention to the problems that are easily overlooked, such as sewer blockage and wall seepage.

7. account migration

Buying and selling second-hand houses is one of the most controversial issues, and it is also the most likely to endanger the interests of new owners. Therefore, the new owner can check whether the original owner's account has moved out from the relevant department one day before the handover date.
