Personal Transfer of Container Houses
Admin September 15, 2026
When transferring a container house personally, multiple factors need to be considered, including transfer channels, price evaluation, house condition, and formalities handling.

Transfer Channels
- Online Platforms: Platforms such as 58.com and 1688.com gather a large amount of second-hand container house transfer information, with wide coverage and rich information. For example, on 58.com, you can search for second-hand container transfer information in Weifang, Qingdao, Ningbo, and other places, and directly contact the sellers for details.
- Professional Merchants: Professional merchants such as Farilelai Prefabricated Building (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. not only provide second-hand container transfer services but also involve various products such as packing-box units and residential containers. They have comprehensive qualification verification, making transactions relatively more secure.
Price Evaluation
- Reference Market Conditions: The prices of container houses vary greatly depending on the region, specifications, and condition. For example, second-hand maritime containers transferred in Ningbo, Zhejiang, come in different specifications such as 20-foot and 40-foot, are 7-80% new, start at 1000 yuan, and have a complete range of container types to meet various purposes.
- Consider House Condition: Factors such as condition, size, and whether they have been refitted will affect the price. Second-hand container houses that are 8-90% new, have complete sizes (20-foot, 40-foot, 45-foot), and have been processed and customized usually have relatively higher prices.
House Condition Inspection
- Structural Safety: Check whether the steel structure frame of the container house is firm, without deformation or damage, to ensure it can withstand normal use and a certain degree of external impact.
- Functional Integrity: For container houses with special functions, such as refrigerated containers, check whether the refrigeration equipment is operating normally; for residential containers, check whether the doors and windows are well-sealed and whether the internal circuits, water pipes, and other facilities are intact.
Formalities Handling
- Property Rights Confirmation: Before the transfer, confirm the property rights ownership of the container house to ensure that the transferor has the right to transfer it and avoid subsequent property rights disputes.
- Contract Signing: Both parties should sign a detailed transfer contract, clarifying terms such as house condition, price, payment method, delivery time, and liability for breach of contract to protect the legitimate rights and interests of both parties.
