A woman from Mainland China bought a house through an intermediary company three years ago. Although the building area is not large, the house is very practical. The house has been re-partitioned and has two bedrooms and a separate kitchen and toilet. So she quickly confirmed her intention to buy the house. , signed the “House Sales Contract” with the owner, and the transfer was successfully completed one month later. Unexpectedly, one year after the woman moved into her new house, she was told by her neighbor that the toilet belonged to her neighbor, which made her quite dumbfounded.
“The Paper” reported that Aunt Huang (all pseudonyms below) was introduced by an agency three years ago and took a fancy to Uncle Liu’s house. The house was a housing reform house allocated by the unit. The floor was not high and the building area was not large. However, the house has a high practicality rate. The house has been re-partitioned and has two bedrooms and a separate kitchen and toilet. So we quickly confirmed our intention to purchase the house, signed a “House Sales Contract” with the owner, and successfully completed the transfer one month later.
One year after Aunt Huang moved in, the son of her neighbor Uncle Chen came to her and said that the toilet area in her house, about 6 square meters, should be the legal area of his house, and asked to free up the toilet area. This moment confused Aunt Huang, because when she bought the house, the original owner said that he had lived there for more than 20 years, and he did not mention to her that the area of the toilet in the house was not the area of his house.
Neighbors said that due to the insufficient housing reform area, the housing reform unit provided the small house on the right side of Aunt Huang’s house to my father, while his father lived in the larger house on the left side of Aunt Huang’s house. The original owner wanted to have some space in his house. There is a separate kitchen and toilet, so the toilet that originally belonged to my father’s house was occupied during the renovation. Aunt Huang refused, so the neighbor hired a professional surveying and mapping agency to conduct measurements, and filed a lawsuit in court demanding that Huang Aiteng also illegally occupy the area.
After measurement, the actual area of Aunt Huang’s house was indeed 6 square meters larger than the registered area on the real estate certificate, and the excess area was the toilet area. The court’s final ruling required Huang Yiteng to return the area. Aunt Huang felt that she had been taken advantage of. When looking at the house, whether the house had a separate kitchen and toilet was an important factor in her decision to buy or not. If she had known that the house did not have a toilet at the time, she would not have bought it. Now she can only readjust the layout of the house and add the toilet. The area is freed up.
The Guangzhou Real Estate Agents Association reminds that house buyers have the obligation to be careful and careful during the conclusion and performance of the house sales contract. Therefore, when viewing the house on site, they should carefully inspect the house and compare it with the survey map of the real estate certificate to see clearly. The number of floors, structure, and area of the house. If necessary, professionals can be asked to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the house. Before signing a contract, proactively ask the owner whether there are any alterations, illegal construction, leakage, etc. in the house to be traded, and clarify in the contract how to take responsibility if there are problems with the house to avoid unnecessary disputes in the future.
