When buying a new house, everyone must pay a special housing maintenance fund, otherwise they will not get a real estate license.

So, in the case of second-hand house transactions, do buyers still need to pay for repairs?

When the house ownership is transferred, the original head of the household should explain the deposit and balance of the special housing maintenance fund to the new head of household, and issue a valid certificate (invoice). The balance of the special housing maintenance fund in the house division will be transferred to the new head of household together with the house ownership.

.

However, if the balance of the original homeowner's maintenance fund account is less than 30% of the initial security deposit, it may be necessary to negotiate with the original homeowner and stipulate in the contract who will make up the shortfall.

What issues should be paid attention to when transferring funds for second-hand house maintenance?

(1) The maintenance fund is specially used for the maintenance and updating of public parts, public equipment and public facilities in the property management area, and shall not be used for other purposes.

(2) If the property maintenance fund account balance of the previous house sold cannot be withdrawn or returned, the next house can be settled with the merchant through the maintenance fund management department.

(3) If the maintenance fund is to be settled or transferred free of charge, it should be clearly agreed before paying the deposit.

Otherwise, after paying the deposit, in accordance with the principle of "if the agreement is agreed, comply with the agreement; if not agreed, comply with the law", the upper family has no right to require the lower family to pay alimony.

If the second-hand house itself does not have a maintenance fund, there is generally no need to pay but the deed tax must be paid.

The first-time apartment will pay 1% for less than 90 square meters, 1.5% for 90-144 square meters, and 3% for more than 144 square meters.
