Notes on Lianjia’s new house sales contract:
1. Buy an existing house or a quasi-existing house as much as possible. This can avoid many risks, such as: window sill height, clear height is too low, balcony design is unreasonable, house is too small, pipeline equipment layer, house unfinished, indoor harmful gases, changes in house structure, cracks and other surface quality problems.
2. Strive to sign the contract directly in one step. Do not pay a deposit or sign a subscription letter. Otherwise, you will easily be passive and restricted. If you really need to pay a deposit, don’t pay too much. Although the deposit is generally refundable legally before signing a formal contract, please don't cause trouble to yourself.
3. In accordance with legal provisions, write the developer’s commitments in the property brochure or advertisement into the supplementary agreement. If the developer does not agree to write it, you can prepare a small tape recorder in advance to record the developer's verbal commitment.
4. When signing a contract, in accordance with legal provisions, you must also sign a property management agreement to prevent changes in property management fees during check-in.
5. List the fees payable to avoid arbitrary charges.
6. Currently, in the real estate field, there are three types of lawyers handling real estate business, including: developers’ lawyers, bank lawyers, and owners’ lawyers. Only the lawyer hired by the owner can speak for the owner.
7. Sign a supplementary agreement that is as detailed as possible (pay attention to reviewing the supplementary agreement provided by the seller), or sign a collective contract; and state how to bear liability for breach of contract, check out or not check out.
Attention should be paid when handing over the house:
1. Relevant documents that should be submitted when handing over the house according to the contract, such as: the measured area document of the surveying and mapping department, "Beijing Construction Project Completion Acceptance" Registration Form", "Residential Instruction Manual", "Residential Quality Guarantee", etc. will be checked and accepted, and the check-in procedures will be completed accordingly. If this is not possible, indicate "the indoor situation is not yet clear" to avoid fait accompli.
2. Conduct on-site acceptance according to the delivery standards specified in the contract, and indicate corresponding issues when checking in. If you are not allowed to enter the house for inspection, please indicate "the indoor situation is not yet clear" to avoid a fait accompli.
3. Pay attention to mutual connections and lay the foundation for the establishment of the owners' committee.
