Is it reasonable for developers and property companies to require property fees to be paid first before house inspection?

Of course it's unreasonable, and it's an opportunity to make money.

Find a developer to inspect the house. If the developer entrusts the property, find the property. The key is to type 1 10, but it is useless. Calling 1 10 is to prove that this is the case, that is, the house will not be inspected without paying the property fee.

Then bring a lawsuit to the developer after 1 year, because the developer did not inspect the house, which led you to claim compensation for your economic losses. What economic loss? Method 1, your house is rented to B (just find a friend or relative), but B has never moved in, so compensate others for their economic losses. The lease contract between you and B (make one yourself) says that if B can't move in, it will compensate for the loss.

Method two, because you can't live in, rent a house outside and ask the developer to compensate your rent.

If you are not in a hurry, you will sue the developer within 2 years, and the prosecution will expire after more than 2 years.

The developer can't help but admit that you were not inspected because you had a police record.

In view of this, consult the local law firm and entrust them to help you prosecute after 6 months in 1 year.

As long as you have a criminal record, lawyers are generally sure to win.
