In the purchase of second-hand housing, it is unlikely that there will be major problems if you look at the following parts clearly.

1. Verify whether the property right is clear: the seller must be the owner of the house, and it can be verified by checking the property right certificate and the ID card of the owner.

2. Verify the housing situation: when looking at the house, we should start from the following aspects: housing construction, housing community and housing rights. Verification of these situations will help you control the actual cost and risk of the transaction.

3. Clear transaction procedures: Second-hand housing transactions can be divided into several steps: house inspection, contract signing, down payment according to the contract, transfer, delivery and balance payment. Attention should be paid to these steps: keep the transaction evidence, transfer the ownership only when everyone on the property certificate is present, and check whether the other party has paid the property fee, water, electricity and gas fee when handing over the house.

4. Clarify the liability for breach of contract: Clarify the strict liability for breach of contract with the seller, which is the guarantee for both parties to perform the second-hand housing sales contract in good faith. In practice, small down payment punishment or simple "the breaching party should bear the losses of the observant party" lacks practical effect. House price fluctuation, insufficient funds, tax and fee reform, and one party delays or refuses to perform the contract from time to time. If some buyers think that the house price is too high or do not want to pay the transfer tax after signing the contract, they will delay the transfer formalities, resulting in the seller not receiving the balance in time after handing over the house; Some sellers found that house prices soared, saying that the sales contract without the consent of others was invalid and asked the buyer to return the house.
