Buy second-hand housing more careful home inspection

What items should be checked for second-hand housing?

Wang Zhiheng, an engineer of the Chengdu Building Decoration Engineering Association who has many years of experience in housing inspections, made several suggestions:

First of all, it is necessary to check if there is a private connection. Many homeowners will personally connect their own wires according to personal preferences during the initial renovation. For example, they will bring their TV closed lines and telephone lines from the living room into the bedroom, and some will also bring the telephone line into the bathroom, and some will split the two in the kitchen and toilet. The water heater had to pull the natural gas pipeline from the kitchen into the bathroom, and privately seal up the balcony, as a study room or bedroom, some top-level housing, and even take a "new house" on the roof to pull up the water and electricity routes. Many of these private connections have been chaotic, and most of them have not undergone rigorous inspection and acceptance, and there are great security risks. Buying such second-hand houses, as far as possible, requires the original owner to transfer the current house structure plans and decoration water and electricity diagrams at the same time. If it is not available, it is also necessary to require the owners to tell the truth about the original situation and to do so. There is something in my heart. In addition, attention should also be paid to observing whether there is water seepage, cracking, and delamination on the ceiling and walls.

Second, check whether the supporting facilities for the small-scale environment of the house are perfect. Elevator apartments, especially high-rise elevator apartments, must open the tap to see if the water pressure is enough, the water quality is clear; turn on the TV and see if the image is clear, how many stations can be received; check the power supply capacity of the meter and the wire, and find out if The impact of air conditioning operating load has an impact; to check the natural gas supply, especially if the peak period of gas usage is sufficient, some old communities need to understand whether the water and electricity charges are reasonable, because these old communities will inevitably have “runaway”, which often occurs. The apportioned water and electricity bills of the households are too high to be irritated. At the same time, don’t forget to visit property management, understand the parking lot and fees, water and electricity charges, and whether the previous owners have arrears records, and pay attention to the elevator brands and operating speeds, look at the cleanliness and layout of public corridors, and greening the community. And other public facilities in the community.

Finally, understand the "software" content of the house. That is whether the house was previously occupied by home or rented, whether something bad happened, whether the original owner had a lawsuit related to the house, and how was the relationship with the surrounding neighbors. At the same time, the remaining years of use of the house, as well as the gap between the area of ​​property rights and the area of ​​use, are also the contents of "software" that must be taken care of.
