In recent years, the transaction volume of second-hand houses has been rising. Many friends think that everything will be fine as long as the ownership of a second-hand house is transferred.

In fact, this is not the case. After the transfer, many property projects are also involved in the handover. Otherwise, the home buyer may have to bear some unnecessary expenses for the seller. Here are some things to note when changing the name of the property after the transfer of a second-hand house.

1. Settle the water meter bill.

Pay attention to ask the original owner whether the water bill has been settled, whether there is any outstanding water bill, etc., and take a look at the water bill receipts for the past month.

Because according to the relevant regulations of the water company, if the water fee is overdue, a 0.2% late fee will be charged. If the household has not paid the clean water fee and late fee after 30 days of reminder, the water supply will be stopped.

2. Check the electricity meter to see if the electricity bill has been settled.

Pay attention to check whether there are any outstanding electricity bills and whether the electricity bills have been settled.

In addition, check whether the electric meter has been moved or modified, whether the wiring is normal, and whether there is any illegal use of electricity.

3. Assist in cable TV ownership transfer.

Cable TV implements a one-household-one-card system. Because some second-hand houses have been vacant for a long time and unoccupied, or the original owners deliberately defaulted on the cable TV fees, resulting in arrears and other situations.

According to the regulations of the real estate management department, when a residence is transferred, the remaining amount in the maintenance fund account is not refundable. The remaining amount paid by the previous home must be certified by the property management company and presented with the "Commercial Residence Maintenance Fund Settlement and Delivery Statement"

It can be collected from the next owner, and the owner of the maintenance fund will be renamed to the next owner.

6. Relocation and transfer of household registration.

When buying a second-hand house, a common dispute is the transfer of household registration. You must pay attention to promptly urge the previous family to move out of the household registration, so that you can transfer your own household registration.

One day before the house handover date, you can go to the police station where the house is located to check whether the previous family's household registration has been moved out.

7. Assist in gas transfer.

According to the regulations of the gas company, the buyer and seller must go to the gas department together with the "House Sales Contract" which states that the price includes the gas facility fee, as well as the ID cards of both parties and the gas bill paid one month before the handover date.
