What are the procedures for buying and selling second-hand houses in Hefei?

Second-hand housing transactions are divided into three parts: before, during and after the transaction. Usually, both buyers and sellers pay attention to the first two links and ignore the last one, which leads to a series of housing disputes. For example, when the house is delivered, the daily living expenses are not settled. When the buyer received the bill after checking in, he found that the seller owed a lot of money. When the account was settled with him, the original owner had no news, so he had to admit his bad luck and pay the arrears. Although this part of the cost is not large relative to the house price, the buyer still can't find a balance point psychologically. Therefore, I would like to remind you that we must pay attention to the following questions when we accept the house and hand it over:

(1) settle the water meter bill. Before handing over the house, the buyer should ask whether the seller has paid the water fee, and don't forget to keep the water fee receipt paid last month.

(2) Notify the status of the electric meter. When handing over the house for acceptance, the buyer must personally check whether the electricity meter has been moved, modified and the line direction is normal, and keep the electricity bill receipt paid last month.

(3) Assist in gas transmission. 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, stating that the house price includes the gas facility fee, the ID cards of both parties and the gas fee paid by the seller 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) Sign a new property heating agreement. Cities with heating should pay attention to signing a new property heating agreement with the property so as not to affect the heating in the coming year.

(5) Settlement of telephone charges. Some families have installed more than one telephone line. The buyer should ask clearly whether there is one or two telephone lines, ordinary telephone lines or ISDN telephone lines in the supplementary terms of the contract, and whether the transfer price includes telephone lines. Property buyers can ask the original owner to remove the mobile phone and then apply for installing another mobile phone. If it is really necessary for the seller because of the shortage of telephone lines or number sources, you should go to the telecommunications department with the seller to settle the bill up to the handover date before handing over the house, and then go through the transfer procedures.
