1, buying a second-hand house has the problem of improper intermediary price difference.
Some intermediaries buy the owner's house in cash in the name of individual house purchase, and earn improper price difference through acquisition; In addition, although the nominal owner has sold the house and obtained the house payment, in fact, if the intermediary company uses the property still under the owner's name (not yet transferred) to engage in illegal activities, the owner still cannot intervene.
2. There may be overlord clauses in the agreement of buying second-hand houses and intermediaries.
When the owner signs an exclusive agency agreement with an intermediary company, there may be a overlord clause in the agreement, mainly because there is no limit on the sales time of the agent and no provision on the compensation standard for failing to complete the entrustment on time. However, if the owner does not sell the house through an intermediary company, he will bear a high penalty.
3. The problem of unclear agency fees for buying second-hand houses.
In the transaction process, in most cases, all the expenses must be borne by the buyer, but the illegal intermediary did not explicitly tell the buyer the expenses to be paid in the transaction process, but only told the buyer the price needed to purchase all the target properties. In fact, the so-called "all-inclusive price" is much higher than the service fees and taxes charged by brokerage companies.
Extended data:
In addition to paying attention to the black-box operation of the intermediary, we should also pay attention to the house itself.
The condition of the house itself
1. Whether the house used for transaction is illegal or has been included in the scope of demolition;
