Guide to buying a house: some questions about collecting property fees

Whether the residential environment is good or not depends largely on the level of the property. If you want a good property, the property fee is naturally indispensable. Regarding the collection of property fees, property buyers should also understand.

1. What area is the property fee charged? Do I have to pay a property fee if I don't check in?

There are two ways to collect property fees. Before the real estate license is processed, the sales area on the commercial housing sales contract shall prevail. After the real estate license is handled, the property fee is charged according to the construction area on the real estate license.

The collection time of property fees is also divided into two situations. If the house is repossessed on the agreed date, it shall be counted from the date of repossession; If the repossession is not delayed according to the agreed date of repossession formalities, the property management fee will be charged from the month following the delivery time indicated in the repossession notice sent by the developer to the owner. Second-hand housing is no exception, even if the house is vacant and uninhabited, it is necessary to pay property fees according to regulations.

This community still has problems left over from construction projects. Can I refuse to pay the property fee?

You can't. The problems left over from development are between the owner and the construction unit, and the property fee is between the owner and the property management enterprise. The two cannot be confused. The owner's refusal to pay the property service fee is a violation of the property service contract and should bear the liability for breach of contract. For the problems left by the developer, the owner should negotiate with the construction unit or solve them through the property company.

3. If the property fee is not paid in time, does the property have the right to cut off water and electricity?

The property management company has no right to limit the owner's water and electricity supply; However, it has the right to temporarily stop providing services to users in arrears. If the card fee is collected and remitted, it should be paid or recharged in time to avoid automatic water and power cuts and unnecessary losses.

On the first floor, if you don't use the elevator, can you not pay the elevator fee?

In the same community, there is a gap in the collection of property fees between buildings with elevators and buildings without elevators, because there are more elevator fees for high-rise residential buildings. Under normal circumstances, property fees are more expensive than multi-storey residential buildings in the same community. Under the premise of no special agreement, the residents on the first floor of high-rise residential buildings should bear the elevator operation and maintenance fees like other floors. However, generally speaking, according to low-rise buildings, the charging standards are different.

5. Do the owners need to share the electricity for public lighting in the residential area? What standard should I charge?

According to the Interim Measures for Charging Property Management Services in Urban Residential Areas, energy costs can be included in the cost of property management fees and shared by all owners in the building.

Therefore, the electricity fee for public lighting in the community is included in the property fee.

6. If some owners in the community don't pay the property fee, will it affect other owners?

Have an impact. Because the operation and service of the whole property agency are based on the property fee, some owners will not pay the property fee, which will affect the quality of property service and normal operation, thus affecting the living comfort of other owners. Assuming that the owner does not pay the property fee, the property cannot operate normally and the community is left unattended, thus affecting the quality.

Paying property fees on time is actually one of the obligations of the owners. Paying money can make the comfort and convenience of daily life more secure.
