(1) Confirm the qualification of the trading entity.
Property buyers can't take it for granted that the owner must come to sign the contract, so they must verify the identity of the other party before signing the contract. As far as the seller is concerned, if he is himself, he must provide his ID card and real estate license to verify whether the names on the ID card and real estate license are consistent. If it is an authorized person, a notarized power of attorney is also required.
Second, all owners must be present to sign.
If it is a house owned by many people, everyone should sign a second-hand house sales contract. Otherwise, as long as someone disagrees, the house sale is invalid! In order to avoid disputes, it is suggested that property buyers do a property right survey before signing the contract. If someone can't sign the contract, they need to issue a written authorization.
Third, ensure that the basic information is true and effective.
The real information mainly includes two aspects: First, the real estate license, identity card and contractor should be unified. Second, the housing information shall be subject to the information indicated in the real estate license, including address, house number, area and apartment type. , must be filled in strictly. In particular, the area must be clearly compared, and the gift area should be indicated in the "other terms" of the contract.
In addition, buyers need to pay attention to the contract, which should clearly state the house decoration and supporting facilities, and both parties agree whether to keep furniture and household appliances.
Fourth, clarify the liability for breach of contract.
In order to protect their own interests, both parties to the transaction must be clear about the liability for breach of contract. Every major obligation must have one-to-one liability for breach of contract, and it is best to directly set the specific amount of liquidated damages (not too high, the part exceeding 20% has no legal effect). In addition, the breaching party shall bear the legal fees, attorney fees and other expenses of the observant party. At this time, the buyer must be thick-skinned, and everything agreed needs to be left in the contract to avoid embarrassment for everyone in the future.
5. See if there is any overlord clause.
Contract is the most important document in real estate transaction. The buyer must make it clear word by word, and some places may hide the overlord clause. Seeing a similar overlord clause, the scene immediately questioned, and the other party refused to sign if it did not correct it.
Sixth, the time should be clear.
First of all, both parties should specify the payment method and time in the contract. Such as the proportion, quantity and time of the down payment and the final payment, so as to ensure that the buyer can have evidence to follow when defaulting by stages or reducing the payment amount. Second, the agreed transfer time is one of the more important terms in the contract, and the buyer needs to be cautious and sign an accurate deadline.
Seventh, keep all evidence.
Signing a sales contract is only the beginning of a real estate transaction. Therefore, in the process of buying a house, we should pay attention to keeping the receipt. If both parties make two written confirmations and sign them separately, the interests of both parties can be guaranteed at the same time; Don't forget to ask the buyer to issue a receipt when paying, and ask him to clearly write down what money he received and how much it was.
