What are the precautions for home inspection? Is there anything to look out for?

Home Inspection Notes:

Waterways: There are usually three types of waterways for ordinary real estate, tap water, hot water and reclaimed water. Reclaimed water is non-potable water, which is collected and used as rainwater, and is generally used to flush toilets or water flowers.

Consumers need to know if hot and grey water is available and if they are connected to the wrong pipes. Also check the location of the water meter, which should be at the outlet of the kitchen or bathroom. In addition, the material of the water pipe is directly related to life, and it is necessary to determine that it is a qualified material designated by the state.

If the water pipe material is too poor, it is easy to leak in the later stage. The best water pipe material is copper pipe, but there are not many projects using copper pipes in Zhengzhou at present; The PPR pipes imported from Germany are also good.

Circuit: The circuit refers to the location and matching of the socket, the type of wire and the capacity of the maximum power consuming device. This requires consumers to ask the property management company or developer of the community for the basic as-built drawings of the layout of hidden works such as water and electricity.

In the process of future use, if there is a short circuit or water cut, it can be repaired by professionals according to the marking of the drawings. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the leakage protection switch of the distribution box is illuminated; Ordinary sockets, high-power sockets, etc. have clear branches, whether the installation of the panel switch is smooth, and at the same time, it is necessary to test whether the switch is effective.

Concealed works: Concealed works include waterway renovation, circuit renovation, ceiling structure and toilet waterproofing works. The owner does not know the materials used in the concealment project, the layout of the waterway, the direction of the circuit, and the location of the functional socket, because these projects are buried in the wall after the handover.

But there are at least the following things that the owner must know. In view of the high professional requirements of concealed engineering, if the consumer himself does not know much, it is recommended to ask a friend or professional who understands the relevant knowledge to accompany the house.

Bathroom: Pour water in the bathroom to test whether the water is smooth. If there can be no stagnant water in the floor drain at the lowest point, the water should flow smoothly at each sewerage.

Observe more during the warranty period:

Because the quality of some engineering projects is not in place after the completion of a time, or many engineering projects need to be observed for a long time, it may not be possible to check whether it has quality problems when it is completed and accepted, but must be found by using. At present, the warranty period for residential decoration stipulated by the state is two years, and the warranty period for kitchen and bathroom waterproof projects is five years. The owner should pay attention to carefully observe the various quality problems of the house, negotiate with the developer or the property in time, and try to solve them within the warranty period.

Things to look out for during a home inspection:

1. Acceptance structure. Check that the structure of the fully furnished room does not conform to the contract. The first step is to inspect the whole house after the renovation, check the area, check the location orientation, measure the common area, and check whether some outdoor facilities are in good condition.

2. Checking the project is often ignored by many owners, thinking that it is unlikely that there will be problems, in fact, many owners are surprised to find that the construction project has been omitted after moving in.

3. The house inspection should pay attention to whether the materials used are consistent with the commitments in the contract, whether it is a well-known brand, whether the model and style correspond, etc., and should be negotiated in time if there is an error.

4. Whether the balcony can be closed is a common concern for the owner after receiving the house, and the owner of the house must also take into account that if the balcony is to be closed in the future, some layouts may need to be changed now.

The main purpose of inspecting the house is to see whether the wall is hollow, whether the wall and ground are cracked, whether the kitchen and bathroom are leaking, the ground, the wall is uneven, and whether the water and electricity reach the tee.

1. Remember to check the house according to the acceptance form of the new house, and keep the acceptance form from the developer, and check the entity one by one when accepting.

2. Do not let the property management personnel sent by the developer accompany you during the house inspection, they will influence the owner's thoughts.

3. If it is indicated on the house inspection list that the house has not been accepted, the house will have serious quality problems in the future process, and the developer will not be able to draw a clear line and shirk responsibility.

4. Once there is a serious quality problem in the house or the owner has a request for inspection, if the developer declares that the house has passed the acceptance of the quality supervision agency, he has the right to request the inspection to be recorded.

5. If the developer does not solve the existing problems in a timely manner, affecting the normal use of the house, the householder has the right to claim compensation.

6. When the area of the house is larger, the owner can dispose of it at will if the developer does not inform it in advance.

7. If there is a serious shortage of the area of the house, the head of the household has the right to claim compensation.

8. After the owner is put into use, if there is still a certain quality problem in the house, the developer can be required to solve it in accordance with the warranty contract.

1. Check the documents provided by the developer: "Completion and Acceptance Registration Certificate of Commercial Housing", "Housing Quality Assurance Certificate", "Residential Instruction Manual" and the measured area report of the house.

2. To carry out on-site acceptance, check whether the front of the house is tilted, whether there is water leakage, whether it is equal, etc.

3. Carefully check whether there are cracks on the ground and roof of the master bedroom and living room near the terrace, and if there are cracks, see what kind of cracks they are. Generally speaking, cracks parallel to the beams of the room are quality problems, but they are basically not dangerous and will not hinder the use of the cracks after repair. If the crack is at a 45-degree angle to the corner of the wall or perpendicular to the beam, it means that the house has serious settlement and structural quality problems.

4. It is necessary to see whether there are cracks on the walls on both sides of the terrace, if there are cracks, it is also a serious quality problem. Finally, see if there are cracks in the load-bearing wall, if the cracks penetrate the entire wall and wear to the back, it means that there are hidden dangers in the house, and the buyer must not report luck for this kind of house.

5. Pay attention to the water seepage on the ground and top floor of the house, and carefully check whether the wall of the house is discolored, blistered, peeling, and dusty, which are signs of leakage. Kitchens, bathrooms, balconies should also be inspected for leaks in the roofs and pipe connections.

6. Check whether the water supply, power supply, gas, ** line, and CCTV line are in place.

Pay more attention to details when inspecting the house: Wall paint: The wall should use water-resistant putty, and the wall paint should be evenly brushed and the paint film should be consistent.

Wall and floor tiles: the same color. Visual inspection is sufficient, generally speaking, if there is an obvious problem, the developer will not pass the acceptance.

Use a small hammer to hit the floor tiles and wall tiles, if there is a hollow sound, it means that the tiles are not paved, and the tiles may crack and fall off after a long time. If the hollow drum rate exceeds 5%, it can be judged as unqualified. Kitchen & Bathroom:

Test whether the faucet switch is flexible and effective, including flushing toilets, shower rooms, and basins. In addition, it is necessary to check whether the water is smooth, you can fill the vegetable sink, basin, and bathtub with water on the spot, and then discharge it to check the drainage speed; When checking the drain of the toilet, it is necessary to perform a drainage test several times to see how well it drains. Doors and windows:

Open the door by hand, check whether the door opening and closing is smooth, and whether the door lock hinge is flexible and effective; Whether the sealing of outdoor doors and windows, especially those of closed balconies, is qualified and whether the opening is flexible. Heating: The owner can check the heating to see if the pipeline is unblocked, whether the temperature meets the standard, and whether there is water leakage.

Ventilation: Test whether the exhaust vents are well ventilated, and test whether the return air valve is effective in the kitchen and bathroom. If there is always a smell wafting from someone else's house in your kitchen or a peculiar smell in the bathroom, it may be that the return air valve is out of order.
