Things to Be Aware of When Inspecting a Second-Hand House

Part One: On-Site Inspection

I. Check for Unauthorized Modifications

1. Is there any unauthorized structure such as a platform, corridor, or small loft built on the roof or within the house?

2. Have the internal and external structures been altered? For example, was a balcony converted into a bedroom or kitchen, or was a room split into two?

3. Has the owner closed off the balcony? This could affect how the balcony area is calculated in the property’s total square footage.

II. Confirm the Exact Area of the Property

1. Understand the construction area, usable area, and actual measured area of the house.

2. The construction area is typically listed on the property title certificate.

3. The most accurate method is to measure from corner to corner, known as the "carpet area," which gives you the true usable space.

III. Observe the Internal Structure and Decor

1. Are the room sizes reasonable and suitable for daily living, or are there any structural disadvantages?

2. Are the plumbing pipes too large or improperly routed?

3. Are there any signs of water leakage on the ceiling or issues like peeling paint or cracks on the walls?

4. Was the house originally decorated? If so, are the existing finishes still intact, or were they completely removed during renovation?

IV. Assess the Property's Municipal Infrastructure

1. Turn on the faucet to check the water quality and pressure.

2. Turn on the TV to see if the signal is clear and how many channels can be received.

3. Confirm the electrical capacity to ensure it can support air conditioning during hot weather.

4. Check for aging wires both inside and outside the home.

5. Is the telephone line an ordinary one or an ISDN line?

6. Has the gas connection been switched to natural gas?

7. Does the community provide hot water, or does the house have its own water heater?

8. Check the heating system and whether the temperature is sufficient. Also, verify the number of radiators and the heating fees charged.

V. Learn About the House’s History and Neighbors

Find out when the house was built, how long the land has been used, who lived there before, and whether any negative events occurred—such as theft, debt issues, or unpaid utility bills. Good neighbors can make your life more enjoyable. Observe the people in the community at different times of the day, look at their clothing and lifestyle, and get a sense of the neighborhood's social environment. Check the cleanliness and layout of public corridors. Talk to neighbors on different floors and visit the local community committee to gather more information.

VI. Evaluate the Property Management Level

1. How are water, electricity, and gas fees collected? Are they handled by the management company or individually?

2. Observe the elevator brand, speed, and maintenance level. Check the cleanliness and organization of the common areas.

3. Is the security system well managed? How many staff members are on duty and how responsible are they?

4. What kind of greenery and landscaping services does the property management offer?

VII. Understand Future Living Costs

1. What are the costs for water, electricity, gas, and heating?

2. What is the standard for property management fees?

3. What is the cost of parking spaces in the community?

Part Two: Document Review

Visit the housing archives department to review documents that will help you understand the internal structure of the house, including the direction of pipelines and the location of load-bearing walls, especially if you plan to renovate.

I. Negotiate with the Landlord to Access the Files

To check the documents, you need to present your ID and fill out an application form. If the property owner has passed away, the heir must also provide proof of death. The process includes review, access, payment, and obtaining official documentation.

II. Entrust a Lawyer to Check the Files

If a lawyer is hired to review the real estate archives, they must bring a letter of introduction from the law firm, their license, and a signed contract between the firm and the client. The procedure involves document review, verification, payment, and certification of the documents.
