Let’s talk about how developers like to hand over properties at the end of the year

Many netizens may have noticed when viewing houses that developers always like to set the delivery time at the end of the year or in the second half of the year. Why is this? The editor will tell you about the secret inside.

Question 1: Why do developers always hand over properties at the end of the year?

Winter delivery is not a good time for most property owners, because the time spent on decoration and odor removal will definitely make it too late to move in before the year ends. But why does the developer rush to deliver the property at this time?

Yes, why?

The House Buying Guide has collected the following opinions for you:

Myth 1: To save on heating costs

Some people think that developers choose to hand over houses in winter to save money. Heating expenses and other expenses, because if the house is not delivered, the developer has to bear the heating expenses.

Comment: It is understood that a project has a strict time schedule from the start to completion and house closing. When to house house closing is not only related to the construction progress and property operation, but also to the developer and the construction party. year-end settlement, so it is not an arbitrary arrangement.

Besides, when you buy a house, the closing time is already written into the purchase contract, and it is confirmed to be legally binding after being signed by both parties. It seems a bit far-fetched for the developer to delay it until the end of the year in order to save on heating bills.

Statement 2: In order to facilitate the owner to find problems

Holding a house in winter has many advantages for home buyers. For example, home buyers can check the house’s sunshine, ventilation, insulation, heating problems and engineering Quality should be inspected in the most intuitive way. Especially consider the two aspects of lighting and ventilation. Whether the house you buy has good lighting and the length of sunshine can only be seen best during this season.

Not only that, in winter, home buyers can more clearly discover the advantages and disadvantages of the environment and the loopholes in property management.

Comments: Due to the dry and cold winter, various odors are not easy to emit, so the quality of environmental sanitation is difficult to detect, such as whether the garbage can be cleaned in time, whether there is any peculiar smell; whether there are more mosquitoes in summer; the effect of greening the landscape How to wait.

To say that winter house closing is to facilitate the owner’s acceptance, the house buying guide expressed skepticism.

Argument 3: In order to facilitate the deployment of construction workers

Since construction workers in many cities are basically non-locals, they have to go home for the New Year and return one after another after the Lantern Festival. Therefore, Most real estate projects can officially start construction after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The normal construction cycle to complete a real estate project is about two years. Developers usually start the handover process after completion, which happens to be winter.

Comments: For many people, the Spring Festival may really be just a seven-day holiday, but for construction workers, it may be the only time this year to go back to their hometowns to reunite with construction workers. For them who don’t go home very often, this holiday may be longer, so it is possible for developers to consider the deployment of workers and use this to arrange the progress of building construction.

Question 2: So what should you pay attention to when closing a house in winter?

Now that the house has been closed for winter, what exactly should be done? What should we pay attention to?

It must be said that closing the house in winter still has many benefits for the owner. If there is really a problem with the house, it will be easier to find it at this time. Specifically, there are the following items to note.

Note 1: Walls and floors

Winter is also an opportunity to check the quality of walls. Dry weather can easily cause cracks in improperly constructed walls. You will find this by visual inspection of the walls. Small cracks; in addition to observing cracks in wall inspection, you should also pay attention to whether the wall is smooth and straight. You can use a right-angle ruler to lean against the wall to detect; at the same time, you can use a rubber hammer to tap the wall and use the sound to detect whether the wall is empty. . Problematic areas on the wall can be marked so that the professional inspection agency can more accurately identify the problem during re-testing.

Check whether the ground is level. The detection method is similar to that of wall detection. A right-square or triangle ruler is used to detect the ground to determine whether the ground is flat. If a large drop on the ground is detected, it will also be marked to await re-inspection by a professional agency. Whether the ground is level or not is closely related to the laying of floor tiles, wooden floors, etc. during later decoration and cannot be ignored.

Note 2: Doors and windows

Doors and windows are the most active and sensitive parts of heat exchange and heat conduction. Therefore, doors, windows and glass will directly affect the insulation effect of the room. It is important to inspect the room after closing in winter. Doors and windows are more advantageous.
