It depends. Under normal circumstances, due to the transfer of property rights after the sale of the house, the maintenance fund paid before will not be refunded. The former maintenance foundation was handed over to the new buyer at the same time as the property right was transferred. If you want to recover the maintenance fund, you can discuss it with the buyer. For example, when signing a house purchase agreement, it will be clearly stated in it, or a part of the total house price will be reported. Because there is no separate public maintenance fund fee, it is necessary to negotiate with the buyer. So under normal circumstances, we will not ask the buyer for compensation.
