為何都要驗樓？

---

驗樓這環節在樓宇買賣中不可忽視，新盤的驗樓程序尤其重要，因為發展商通常會提供維修執漏的服務。一般來說，一手樓買家在簽發入伙紙後，就可以在驗樓期內進行驗樓，驗樓後將問題反映，發展商就會執漏，然後買家就可以再次驗收。

而買賣二手樓時，一般在買賣合約上，都有寫明類似「現狀買入」的字眼，而你驗樓時一般已經簽訂臨時買賣合約，即使驗樓發現有不合心意的地方，維修的責任通常都在買家身上。要保障自己，二手樓買家應該在睇樓階段就盡量詳細紀錄單位「現狀」，有可能的話，更要拍照紀錄，及將單位的細節寫進臨時買賣合約，以保障自己。不過，二手樓的買家也可以請專業的驗樓人員驗樓，驗出問題後也可以及早維修，避過入伙後才維修的麻煩。

漏水問題

1. 廚廁是漏水問題的重災區，其中一個驗測方式，就是將去水口塞住，留意防水膠與盆底等位置有否漏水現象，然後再觀察去水是否順暢。企缸、浴缸都可以用花灑噴射四周，留意牆身滲漏情況。

2. 如果單位有露台敞門，可以嘗試在外面潑水檢查。窗戶也可以用同樣方式檢查。而玻璃若出現裂痕、氣泡、崩裂，除了有機會爆裂外，都會有漏水危機。

3. 除了屋內的喉管外，也要留意屋外的喉管、冷氣機水管、喉管駁口、防水膠等的狀態。4/天花、牆身如有變色或印痕，可能因為有滲水問題，應找出原因。您的客戶在社交媒體上對您贊不絕口嗎？分享他們的故事，讓潛在客戶成為忠實客戶。

1. 最重要的是對比售樓書的尺吋，用拉尺確定一致。

2. 地板、牆身等除細心觀察有否裂痕，亦應用金屬棒輕敲，觀察造工是否良好。

3. 窗台、地板、門框等位置，都應用平水尺檢驗是否平坦或垂直。

家具操作問題

1. 如有附送家電，應全部開啓試用是否能運作，如洗衣機、冷氣機等家電試用，同時也可檢查漏水問題。

2. 要確保鋁窗、大門房門的開關狀況，尤其留意螺絲、鉸位、防水膠邊、鎖等細節。關上門後也要留意門縫大小。要舉辦假日特賣或每週特賣嗎？請一定要在這裡說明，讓客戶期待能以優惠價格購買。

3. 用附通電顯示燈的電插頭檢查所有插頭是否能使用。

4. 合理地搖動欄杆、馬桶、窗戶、鐵閘、大門等家具，確保不會輕易鬆脫。

Tips：買賣二手樓，由簽署合約至正式成交交樓前，通常會再入屋兩次，包括銀行進行物業估值、而另一次則是交樓前驗收，為避免在驗收後至交樓前出現任何誤差，建議在收樓前一天驗樓。

新盤與二手樓收樓程序非常不同。新樓是收樓前驗樓，檢查單位的保養程度、發展商裝修是否有問題，可以要求發展商執漏；二手樓則是要確保上手業主承諾會處理的物業狀況已經處理好，以及盡早發現物業問題，因為單位交樓後，即使出現漏水、石屎剝落，買家都無權要求上手業主負責維修單位。交樓流程如下：

二手樓收樓程序

1. 委託律師樓、安排銀行按揭

2. 讓銀行安排估價行登門進行估價

3. 買成交前一日登門驗樓，確保單位的狀況跟簽約時所列的「現狀買入」無異，如業主拒絕讓買家登門驗樓，買家可向業主發出律師信，並有權取消交易

4. 上律師樓簽「轉讓契」（即樓契）

5. 正式成交並收匙

新盤收樓程序

1. 交樓當日，發展商安排職員陪同新業主到單位驗樓

2. 由發展商職員作簡單檢驗，或自行驗樓或聘請專業驗樓師進行驗樓

3. 填寫缺陷清單（Defect List），並向發展商遞交驗樓報告

4. 發展商安排承建商到該單位「執漏」維修，需時約2個星期至1個月

5. 再次驗收，並確認單位已執修完成

Tips：普遍驗新樓程序期限為6個月，提交通知後，發展商一般會於1個月內完成執漏，如單位缺陷多，執修期有機會延長。業主應盡快遞交報告，以免承建商方面因未有存貨，需要訂料，而耽誤入伙。尤其大型玻璃、雲石台、大門等都可能需要訂貨。

Building inspection is an aspect that cannot be ignored in building transactions. The building inspection procedure for new developments is particularly important because developers usually provide leakage repair and maintenance services. Generally speaking, after the first-hand building buyer signs the occupation certificate, he or she can conduct a building inspection during the building inspection period. After the building inspection is completed, any problems will be reported to the developer, and then the buyer can inspect and accept the property again.
 

When buying and selling a second-hand building, the sales contract usually has words like "buy as is" written in it, and you have usually signed a provisional sales and purchase contract when you inspect the building. Even if the inspection finds something unsatisfactory, you are still responsible for the repairs. It's usually all on the buyer. To protect themselves, buyers of second-hand properties should record the "current condition" of the unit in as much detail as possible during the property inspection stage. If possible, they should take photos and record the details of the unit and write the details of the unit into the provisional sale and purchase agreement to protect themselves. However, buyers of second-hand buildings can also ask professional building inspectors to inspect the building. If problems are found, they can repair them early and avoid the trouble of repairing them after moving in.  

 1. Kitchens and toilets are the hardest hit areas for water leakage. One of the test methods is to plug the drain outlet, pay attention to whether there is leakage in the waterproof glue and basin bottom, and then observe whether the water drain is smooth. You can use shower heads to spray around the tub and bathtub, and pay attention to wall leakage.
 

2. If the unit has an open terrace door, you can try to check by pouring water outside. Windows can be inspected in the same way. If there are cracks, bubbles, or cracks in the glass, in addition to the chance of bursting, there will also be a risk of water leakage.
 

3. In addition to the pipes inside the house, you should also pay attention to the status of the pipes outside the house, air conditioner water pipes, pipe connections, waterproof glue, etc. 

4. If there is discoloration or marks on the ceiling or walls, it may be due to water seepage, and the cause should be found out. Are your customers raving about you on social media? Share their stories and turn prospects into loyal customers.

1. The most important thing is to compare the dimensions of the sales brochure and use a ruler to confirm the consistency.
 

2. In addition to carefully observing whether there are cracks on the floors, walls, etc., you should also tap lightly with a metal rod to observe whether the workmanship is good.
 

3. A level gauge should be used to check whether windowsills, floors, door frames, etc. are flat or vertical.

 1. If there are any appliances provided, you should turn them on and try them out to see if they can work, such as washing machines, air conditioners and other appliances. You can also check for leaks.
 

2. Make sure that aluminum windows and large doors are open and closed, paying special attention to details such as screws, hinges, waterproof rubber edges, and locks. Also pay attention to the size of the door gap after closing the door. Hosting a holiday sale or weekly sale? Be sure to state it here so customers can expect a discounted price.
3. Use the electrical plug with the power indicator light to check that all plugs are functional.
 

4. Rock railings, toilets, windows, gates, doors and other furniture reasonably to ensure that they will not loosen easily.
 

Tips: When buying and selling a second-hand property, from the signing of the contract to the official completion of the transaction, there are usually two visits to the house, including a bank valuation of the property, and another inspection before handover. In order to avoid problems after the acceptance and before handover. If there is any discrepancy, it is recommended to inspect the building one day before closing. 

The procedures for repossession of new properties and second-hand properties are very different. For new buildings, inspection is required before taking over the building to check the level of maintenance of the unit and whether there are any problems with the developer's decoration. You can ask the developer to perform inspections; for second-hand buildings, it is necessary to ensure that the property conditions that the owner promised to deal with have been taken care of and be discovered as early as possible. Property issues, because after the unit is handed over, even if water leakage or concrete peeling occurs, the buyer has no right to require the owner to be responsible for repairing the unit. The handover process is as follows:

1. Entrust a law firm and arrange a bank mortgage.

2. Let the bank arrange for a valuation firm to come to your home for valuation.

3. Go to the building for inspection the day before the purchase is completed to ensure that the condition of the unit is the same as the "as-is purchase" listed at the time of signing. If the owner refuses to let the buyer come to inspect the building, the buyer can send a lawyer's letter to the owner with a Right to cancel transaction.

4. Go to the lawyer's office to sign the "Transfer Deed" (i.e. the property deed)

5. Officially complete the transaction and receive the key.

1. On the day the building is handed over, the developer arranges for staff to accompany the new owner to the unit for building inspection.

2. Let the developer conduct a simple inspection, or conduct the building inspection by yourself or hire a professional building inspector to conduct the building inspection.

3. Fill out the Defect List and submit the building inspection report to the developer

4. The developer arranges for a contractor to come to the unit to "fix the leak" and repair it, which will take about 2 weeks to 1 month.

5. Check for acceptance again and confirm that the unit has completed the repairs.

Tips: The general building inspection period for new properties is 6 months. After submitting the notice, the developer will usually complete the inspection within 1 month. If the unit has many defects, the inspection period may be extended. The owner should submit the report as soon as possible to avoid delays in moving in because the contractor does not have inventory and needs to order materials. Especially large glass, marble tables, doors, etc. may need to be ordered.
