Ten pitfalls to avoid when buying a house.

Trap 1: verbally exaggerating the gift area.

Case: Mr. Li, a 70-year-old man from Xipeng, listened to the introduction of a property consultant when he bought a house. According to the plan, there is a courtyard of 12.5 square meters. But when signing the contract, I didn't find that the size of "small ants" on the general plan marked that the area of the hospital had been reduced by half.

Expert's suggestion: Although the verbal commitment of the property consultant and the sales materials of the apartment indicate the donated area, it is not regarded as a "discount". Because there is another sentence on the floor plan: "All pictures and text descriptions of this information are for reference only, and the actual delivery standard is subject to the approval documents of the planning and land department and the sales contract signed by both parties." Therefore, it is recommended to sign a supplementary agreement with the developer to clarify the gift area.

Trap 2: commercial flue odor residential building

Case: Mr. Wang, the owner of Guanghua International in Huaxin Street, Jiangbei, complained that the residents of Building No.3 could feel the pungent fumes from the commercial facade downstairs from time to time in the lobby, elevator or home. The developer admitted that the construction unit did not follow the specifications and detained the deposit of the construction party. However, 1 For many years, the developer has not rectified it, and it is of no help to find a property management solution.

Experts suggest that the flue is a public part and should be rectified by the developer during the warranty period. If the warranty period exceeds, overhaul fund will be used for rectification. The relationship between the buyer and the developer is contractual, and the developer cannot offset the obligations that the construction unit should perform to the buyer by failing to perform its obligations. Developers can use the original construction party's deposit to find a third party for rectification.

Trap 3: the average price in the set tempts you.

Case: At the end of last year, Mr. Xue took a fancy to a commercial house, and the reason that attracted him at that time was the advertisement of "the unit price in the house was 5500 yuan/square meter". However, the field survey found that the average price of this set actually reached 8500 yuan/square meter. It turns out that the gift area of this house is 50 to 60 square meters.

Trap 4: The donated basement is risky.

Case: Mr. Chen bought a villa in Yubei and got a basement with a negative floor. Originally, the basement was intended to be an audio-visual room, but it was later found inappropriate: although the User Manual and the Quality Guarantee stated that "the basement is waterproof and watertight for five years", the basement without lighting and ventilation is prone to damage electrical appliances. The basement is chicken ribs.

Expert advice: the warranty period is calculated according to the time of house collection. The donated basement is a non-public part under the exclusive part of the owner, which belongs to personal interests. Therefore, if there are quality problems such as leakage beyond the warranty period, in judicial practice, it is often impossible to use overhaul fund for maintenance through the resolution of the owners' meeting, and the owners usually pay the bill themselves.

Trap 5: The parking space ratio is seriously insufficient.

Case: When Ms. Chen bought a building on Baosheng Avenue in Yubei in 2009, she did not ask about the number of parking spaces, but the developer indicated in the annex of the contract that "the total number of parking spaces in this project meets the requirements of the planned economic and technical indicators approved by the government planning department". But when she took over the house at the end of last year, she found that there were only 170 parking spaces in the community, while there were 10 high-rise buildings in the community, with at least 2,700 households. As a result, the garage staged a realistic version of "grabbing parking spaces" every day. At the same time, the phenomenon of vehicles parked and placed in the community is serious. As a result, the daily spat and friction between the owners of the community continue.

Expert's suggestion: According to the technical regulations of urban planning management in Chongqing, the 20 12 construction projects "ordinary residential parking spaces/100 square meters construction area" should reach the index of 0.8. Owners can complain to the Planning Bureau according to relevant technical specifications. Therefore, for private car owners, when buying a house, we must pay reasonable attention to the proportion of parking spaces and regard it as an important condition for buying or not.

Trap 6: Fool you that "the offer ends tomorrow"

Case: In the sales department, it is too common to make an article about the number, type, orientation and price setting of houses, creating an illusion. The so-called "lowest price", once a customer comes to buy a house, it will be gone.

Expert advice: Many sales offices have set up sales control tables. The property consultant said that all the other houses were sold, and these were the only sets left. In fact, it is mostly the tension created by developers; Saying that "the activity ends today" and "the offer ends tomorrow" is mostly an act of forcing an order. At present, in the process of real estate transaction, developers are in a strong position, and the information between them and buyers is extremely asymmetric, so there is a phenomenon that developers do overlord business. To this end, consumers should maintain a correct attitude and not be afraid of power. When buying a house, they should make the problem clear and elaborate. If they have objections to the terms of the contract, the agreement is unclear and dissatisfied, they will resolutely not sign it.

Trap 7: Concealing planning and defrauding property buyers.

Case: Mr. Zhang is a resident of Mindun Road Community, Fu Hong Road 17, Nanping Welfare Society, Nan 'an District. He has been in the house for three years. Now the developer suddenly said that the outdoor site planning of a kindergarten has not been completed, and three flower beds outside the house should be demolished to make room for the construction of the outdoor playground of the kindergarten. More than 200 owners objected, but the developer still insisted on building.

Expert advice: Developers have no right to change their own planning and design. If the developer knowingly carries out false propaganda, it is suspected of fraud and should bear corresponding legal responsibilities. The law clearly stipulates that the parties to a contract concluded by fraudulent means have the right to request the people's court to cancel it, and may demand the other party to compensate the relevant losses.

Trap 8: There are security risks in the design.

Case: Ms. Zhang bought a suite in Building 4, dadukou district Phase III (real estate information) on 201/kloc-0. However, it was not seen in the previous drawings that the exhaust port would be located in the window of the house, and it was only seen when the house was handed over. This exhaust port is used to exhaust waste gas. It is in her window, which is very harmful to people's health.

Expert's suggestion: When the house has major security risks or cannot meet the basic use functions, the buyer can refuse to accept the house. Under what circumstances can buyers refuse to accept the house? First, we should respect the agreement of the parties; Second, it depends on whether it meets the standards stipulated by laws and regulations; Third, we should consider whether the quality defects of the house can meet the basic functions of the house.

Trap 9: Property management only charges and does not provide good service.

Case: Zhu is a resident of Tea Garden Century Garden Community in Nan 'an District. He lives on the second floor, 1 building is a septic tank. Because the main water pipe is blocked and the sewage flows backwards, it has affected the residents on the third floor. The owner told the property management that the problem had not been solved. The property management said that some residents did not pay the property management fee, so they ignored many things.

Expert advice: review the contents of the contract signed with the property department, find out the performance of property default, and then ask the property to bear the responsibility for breach of contract. If negotiation fails, a lawsuit can be brought to demand the property to provide services and bear the liability for breach of contract. At the same time, it is recommended to choose a developer with better quality.

Trap 10: Hardcover rooms are actually not "refined"

Case: Last September, Ms. Yang bought a hardcover room in Zengjiayan Celebrity Mansion in Shangqing Temple. However, when Ms. Yang repossessed the house in May 438+10 this year, she found that there were many problems in the house: life balcony was not waterproof, and the running water in the bathroom was not smooth, so she could not repossess the house. Ms. Yang said that many families who took over the house at the same time reflected similar problems.

Experts suggest that consumers should first make clear whether the hardcover housing contract is "finely decorated" or "fully decorated". However, if there is no clear agreement in the contract, once there is a problem with the house, safeguarding rights will be more troublesome. At the same time, property buyers should lock the corresponding decoration standards when buying a house, and check them one by one when closing the house.
