When does the property fee for buying a second-hand house start to calculate?

Legal analysis: According to the delivery time of buyers and sellers, the property fee before delivery is paid by the original householder, and the property fee after delivery is paid by the buyer. After the transfer formalities are completed, the seller shall hand over the house at the time agreed in the contract, and after the handover, the seller shall give the key to the buyer.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) City Real Estate Management Law.

Article 36 When transferring or mortgaging real estate, the parties concerned shall register the ownership in accordance with the provisions of Chapter V of this Law.

Article 62 When a real estate is mortgaged, it shall be registered with the department designated by the local people's government at or above the county level. Where the land use right and house ownership are obtained due to the disposal of mortgaged real estate, the transfer registration shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
