Recently, the whole family moved to a new house in Suzhou, which is a fully furnished room. The enthusiasm of staying in a new house had not yet passed and the troubles followed. Originally, he discovered that there was a phenomenon of flooding in the sewers and that there were frequent odors. The friend who knew the decoration told him that this was because the sealing work of the water pipe was not done well. Remedial measures should be taken immediately, otherwise the solid wood floor in the living room and bedroom would be immersed. So he found the developer asking for repairs. Although the developer promised to solve it, he hasn’t actually taken action yet.
In fact, Xi Mingji's experience is not an exception. The reporter learned from the Consumer Protection Committee of Suzhou City that the number of complaints about the quality of fully furnished homes in Suzhou has soared in 2009. The reality is that in the future, the proportion of fully furnished homes in Suzhou will increase, so the quality of fully furnished homes may become more and more prominent.
Of course, on the one hand, developers are required to strictly control the quality of decoration. For buyers, they understand the knowledge of some home inspections, find problems as soon as possible, and require developers to solve problems. This may be a more practical approach. So how do home buyers accept the fully-decorated home? What should I do if I find a problem? Here, the reporter interviewed relevant people in the industry.
Two major injuries affect the quality of decoration
How can the quality of the decoration part of the fully-furnished room be guaranteed? Industry analysts believe that the main reason is due to the lack of independent third-party supervision and no mandatory standards for home inspection caused by two factors.
Chen Jun, deputy general manager of Shanghai Jinnian Interior Design & Decoration Co., Ltd., said that, compared with self-decoration, buying a full-scale renovation can save money and time. Saving money is mainly reflected in the following aspects, in which materials can be reduced by 7.5% to 10% due to bulk purchases. Uniform construction will also reduce labor costs by about 3%. In addition, it can also reduce waste removal and transportation. Cost, a total of 20% savings. Self-construction has to spend a lot of time and energy, although it cannot be measured by money, but it is also a cost that cannot be ignored. In addition, since the fully-furnished rooms are carried out in a unified manner, noise pollution is also reduced.
According to industry sources, the quality of fully furnished rooms cannot be guaranteed, mainly because there are two major injuries. One is the lack of an independent third-party monitoring mechanism during the renovation process, and the second is that there is no mandatory home inspection standard after completion.
Different from self-decoration, industry insiders said that the decoration of the fully-furnished house is completely out of control. Its performance in two aspects, on the one hand is the owner can not supervise the decoration process, on the other hand, developers generally do not take the initiative to hire supervision company to supervise the decoration company. In response, Xu Haibo, a lawyer of Shanghai Grand Hyatt Law Firm, said in an interview with reporters that due to the uneven quality of the decoration companies on the market, it is not ruled out that the situation of cutting corners will be cut. Therefore, the quality of decoration is bound to be guaranteed. In addition, the lack of an independent third party oversight mechanism will also make it impossible for developers to handle contracts according to their choice of materials, and they cannot even rule out shoddy phenomena.
At present, after the completion of the renovation project in Shanghai, there is a mandatory standard for acceptance, that is, the revised Shanghai local standard “Residential Decoration Acceptance Criteriaâ€, which makes specific stipulations on indoor air quality and decoration quality, but the standard is fully renovated. As far as the room is concerned, it does not have the normative effect. Chen Jun said that for the fully-furnished house, the key part of acceptance by the quality supervision department is the civil engineering project, and the quality of the decoration has not been involved in too much. As long as there is no quality problem in the civil engineering project, they can generally pass smoothly, so this also makes Developers will not be too concerned about the renovation of some quality issues.
Acceptance requires seven aspects
The acceptance of the fully furnished room is obviously different from the acceptance of the rough room. How do you check the complete decoration? Which areas are prone to problems and require special attention? Industry insiders stated that they started from two major areas and seven aspects.
Chen Jun said that the first major issue is the issue of decoration materials. Chen Jun told reporters that the model homes that buyers saw before signing a home purchase contract were different from the actual conditions they saw when they were collecting houses. Therefore, home buyers must check the decoration materials and brands according to the bill of materials.
A look at the brand model carefully compares the brands, models, and colors of anti-theft doors, sanitary ware, decorative materials, lamps, cabinets, floor heating, and central air conditioners to see if there is a problem with the brand that was originally agreed in the purchase contract. . In order to avoid unnecessary disputes in the future, homebuyers should take the initiative to require clear details of the decoration in the purchase contract, including decoration materials, brand names, brand models, brand numbers, etc., and even the color of the materials. In short, the more detailed, the better. .
Secondly, the quality of decoration mainly involves water pipe circuits, masonry, carpentry, installation, and paint. Mr. Wang, an inspector of the Shanghai Wuxie Inspection and Inspection Network, stated that doors and windows, wall paint, floor coverings, toilets, kitchens, and concealed works on the hydropower lines are relatively prone to problems. Therefore, “six views†should be implemented in this block.
Third, look at hidden projects of hydropower lines Mr. Wang said that if the circuit layout is not standardized, it may leave security risks. Therefore, home buyers should require developers to provide circuit and water line diagrams for inspection. The main inspection content is whether the circuit has any changes, whether the circuit capacity is enough to load the electrical equipment, whether the power panel on the wall is adequate, whether the location is reasonable, whether the kitchen and toilet power supply is safe, whether there is leakage protection, and whether the short circuit will automatically trip. Whether some special lines have ground lines and so on. The main part of the water pipe includes whether the water is usually available and whether the sealing performance of the floor drain is good. In addition, the water pressure test is also required to see if there is leakage of the line joint.
Four look at the floor to see if the floor has warped, hollow and other situations, especially for the composite floor, because the concrete floor can not completely find flat, so there will be uneven situation, we must pay attention to whether this situation is serious. In addition, the combination of the floor and the skirting board should be tight.
Five to see the kitchen and kitchen equipment, the key elements of the kitchen inspection include whether the cabinet door can be normally opened and closed, whether the wall tiles and floor tiles exist empty drum phenomenon, in addition there is the washing pool water is smooth. For the bathroom, it is necessary to check whether the ceiling is leaky, whether the drainage pipes are open, whether the wall tiles are empty or not, and whether the wall between the bathroom and the bedroom or the living room has been waterproofed. Sanitary ware Such as the toilet, shower room, wash basin installation can not be ignored.
Six look at windows and doors to check whether the close of the window is tight, whether the slide is flexible, whether there is a feeling of soft bullets, in addition, the door, window stone, etc. should not have traces of collision.
The most important thing is to check if there are cracks in the wall. If there is any, it indicates that the wall cracks have not been repaired during the renovation. In addition, there is a phenomenon of color mixing at the junction between the roof and the wall. If it is separated from the bathroom, it is also necessary to check whether there is paint peeling. If it exists, it indicates that the wall seeps.
How to deal with quality problems
If you encounter quality problems during the inspection, how can you solve it?
Some professionals said that the acceptance of the quality of the renovation project, three points can be based on visual inspection, feel, seven points need to use professional instruments, meters to be completed, it is recommended to find a professional independent third-party testing agency to conduct accurate inspection of the decoration quality.
Xu Haibo told reporters that in order to facilitate the solution of quality problems in the future, the things buyers should do when signing a home purchase contract are to refine the contents of the contract. The decoration materials, decoration levels, decoration standards, and material brands should all be included in the contract so that When you solve the quality problem, you must be able to rely on it.
In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the problem is to clearly the responsibility of the developer. At present, developers and homebuyers will require homebuyers to sign a home sales contract and a decoration contract when signing a sales contract, and the good news is to save homebuyers the cost of buying a home. The so-called “conservation of house purchase costs†is nothing more than the listing of renovation costs, so that buyers can pay less when they pay the house deed tax. If a decoration house has a full price of 2 million yuan, and the decoration cost is 150,000 yuan, then buyers and sellers can indeed pay 150,000 yuan for a total of 4,500 yuan in the case of separate signing of the sale contract and the decoration contract (according to non-standard residential standards). Calculated) deed tax, but the disadvantage of this operation is to get a small profit, but let developers successfully avoid the maintenance responsibility, not worth the candle. Because after discovering the quality problem, the developer will kick the "ball" to the decoration company, so that the two parties will shirk their responsibilities each other. The ultimate loser is the home buyer.
What should I do if I find a problem during my home inspection? Xu Haibo reminded that as long as a problem is found, regardless of size, it must be recorded in the relevant documents or forms, regardless of how the developer interprets it; if the developer does not have a checklist for acceptance, it should be provided with a pen and paper. For the first acceptance after signing, it must be strictly refused. Also, if the property inspection company is accompanied by the property company, the relevant documents cannot be signed with the decoration quality problem because the property company cannot represent the developer (unless it holds the developer's authorization). For developers to shirk their responsibility, buyers should take photographs to preserve the evidence and prove that they are not responsible for timely housing on the developer's side.
