1. Check whether there is any damage to the house. When you take possession of a second-hand house, there may be differences from when you first inspected the house, so be sure to check whether there is any damage to the house.

Common questions include: whether doors and windows are sealed tightly and whether they are damaged; whether there are cracks, leaks, water accumulation, etc. on ceilings, walls, and floors; whether water and electricity switches can be used normally without leakage; whether water channels are smooth, etc.

If the house you buy is on the top floor, check whether there are signs of rainwater leakage on the top.

When closing a second-hand house, if it includes home appliances, make sure that air conditioners, range hoods, water heaters, lamps and other furniture and home appliances are consistent with what is stipulated in the contract.

2. Multiple home inspections at different times. The results of home inspections at different times are different. For example, a home inspection on a sunny day can better observe the ventilation and lighting effects of the house, as well as the cleanliness of the exterior walls; a home inspection at night can better

Understand the property management situation of the community and the security situation around the community; during the house inspection after the rain, you can check whether there are leaks in the walls, corners, ceilings, etc. of the house, and whether there is moisture or mold near the balcony and bathroom floor.

3. Check whether the seller’s household registration has been moved out. Generally speaking, during the signing of the contract, the home buyer should agree with the seller to go through the procedures for moving out the household registration.

However, in order to better protect their rights and interests, buyers should take the real estate certificate and ID card to the household registration section of the police station in the jurisdiction to verify whether the household registration has been moved out before taking over the second-hand house. If the seller's contract still has not moved out, they should ask the seller again

Complete the household registration relocation procedures.

Home buyers need to be reminded that there is no way to force eviction based on household registration.

If there are special circumstances, the move-out time and breach of contract standards must be agreed upon, and liquidated damages must be calculated on a daily basis.

4. Confirm whether the seller has settled various fees and transferred the property. When the buyer takes possession of the house, he must confirm whether the seller has settled various fees.

Mainly include water, electricity, gas, telephone, television, broadband, property management fees and other expenses.

In addition, water, electricity, and natural gas are necessary energy sources in daily life, so these energy sources must be transferred together.

Buyers and sellers need to bring their ID cards and other relevant documents to the business outlets of water companies, electric power companies, and natural gas companies to handle the corresponding transfer procedures.

The property management fees and maintenance funds need to go through the transfer procedures with the property and related units before handing over the house.

5. Check the attached items. When accepting a second-hand house, buyers must remember to count the items that the original owner promised to give as gifts. These items are also included in the purchase price, so which items are given as gifts and which items are for sale are required by the new owner.

Remember them one by one.

6. Count the keys, including the keys for the unit door, entrance door, indoor rooms, water meter, and electricity meter, all of which need to be handed over.

For rented second-hand houses, not only the landlord holds the keys, but also the previous tenants may have keys.
