Ten questions to pay attention to when second-hand home inspection

Everybody should pay attention to what items should be checked when buying second-hand housing?

The home inspector based on his rich work experience reminded everyone to pay attention to the following ten aspects.

Safety

Looking into the night to see the house can examine the property management of the community whether to pay attention to safety, whether there is regular patrols, security measures are comprehensive, there is no noise from street vendors and other interference.

pattern

Buying a house is best for empty houses. Because the empty house is not covered by furniture, household appliances, etc., the pattern of the entire house can be clearly seen. The ideal situation is to open the door and enter the living room from the balcony, then the dining room, kitchen and bedroom. If the door of the living room faces the bedroom directly, the privacy is poor. A good pattern of houses should effectively distinguish between various functions. Such as banquet function, rest function and so on. It should be noted whether the ventilation of the house is good, whether the house is humid, musty, and whether the lighting is good. Check if the windows of the house are facing the vents of other homes.

Corner

Checking whether the wall surface is flat or wet or cracking can help buyers understand if there is water seepage. The corner of the corner is to take up and down the left and right structural forces, such as the earthquake, the corner of the bearing capacity is the key, and the corner of the serious crack, the leakage problem will also arise at any time.

Decoration

Good decor will make people look bright, but the sophisticated decoration can cover the cracked corners, mold, water leaks and other problems one by one. Therefore, when buying a house, homebuyers must pay attention to the work of the house, especially whether the corners, window edges, and the edge of the ceiling are detailed, and these places are often easily overlooked. If problems occur, repairing these small parts is a very troublesome task. Picking up these minor problems can increase bargaining power with the owners. In general, a house that is new in decoration but is very rough in work is likely to be a source of money bought by investors. Its purpose is to make a difference between low prices and high sales. Attention should be given to such houses.

pipeline

See if there is any scale around the water pipe and whether the water is yellowed or not. When testing bathtubs, turn on the faucet first to see if the flow is unobstructed. Wait until the water is full before releasing the water to see if the drainage system is normal. Look at the ceiling for water stains or uneven paint. Look at the four corners of the ceiling in the ceiling for paint peeling, water leaks, etc.

Insulation

See if the insulation is perfect. If the weather in summer is hot, if the residential side wall faces west or the sun facing side of the house is large, the large number of windows will affect the heat insulation effect. Buyers who choose top-level housing should pay attention to whether the top insulation is perfect.

House type

Reasonable layout is the basic of comfortable living. Good house design should do the following:

(1) There is a transitional space at the entrance, that is, the "entrance", which is convenient for changing clothes and changing shoes and avoiding a glance.

(2) The "moving and static" zoning should be done in the plane layout. The activity area includes a living room, kitchen and dining room, and the dining room and kitchen should be closely linked and close to the entrance of the house. The quiet area includes a master bedroom, a study room, a children's bedroom, etc. For double guards, the bathroom with bathing facilities should be close to the master bedroom. The other should be in the area.

(3) The design of the living room should be open, bright, with a good view, and there must be a relatively complete space for furniture to facilitate family recreation, entertainment, and reunion.

(4) The ratio between the opening and the depth of the room should not exceed 1 to 2.

(5) The kitchen and toilet should be designed as a whole. The kitchen should not be too narrow. There should be matching kitchen utensils and hanging cabinets. There should be room for the refrigerator. The bathroom should have an independent and reliable exhaust system. Sewers and traps must not be exposed indoors or outdoors.

waterproof

The roof of the house (including the house with attic), in theory, may leak, and the winter is cold and hot in summer. In fact, it is even more impossible to have illusions. According to the developers, the leaking of rain is a common problem in buildings and cannot be cured. The current waterproof material has a maximum lifespan of 5 years, and some inferior ones are only about a year old. If the aging of the waterproof material leads to leakage at that time, there is no other way. It can only be maintenance, and it will be overhauled in a few years. The extent of winter and summer heat in the house on the roof of the building can only be realized if you actually lived.

Civil works

1. The overall appearance of the building does not appear to be inclined. There are no obvious dimensional deviations in the beams, columns, and walls of the room (please bring a tape measure);
2. Whether there are cracks in the walls, corners and ceilings of houses, and there are no cracks in the external walls of houses;
3, the crack layer does not allow cracks, peeling, trachoma and foaming defects;
4. The treatment of the joint between the door, the window and the wall should be smooth, with no missing corners.

Drainage

1. There is no seepage at the connection between the water supply and drainage pipes, especially the connection position of the plastic pipe;
2. All the water outlets are normal, the toilets do not leak water, the water pipes are not broken, and the interfaces are well sealed;
3, kitchen, bathroom, balcony ground slope enough, no leakage of the floor drain, drain quickly, pay attention to the balcony, toilet near the floor, to see if there is no damp moldy phenomenon.
