Prefabricated House Handover Process

The prefabricated house handover process typically covers three stages: pre-handover preparations, the handover day process, and post-handover matters. Details are as follows:

Pre-handover Preparations

• Developer Preparations: The developer must obtain the 'Residential Quality Guarantee', 'Residential Use Manual', and 'Completion Acceptance Record for Construction Projects'. These documents serve as legal proof that the house meets quality standards and is eligible for delivery. Additionally, the developer must notify the buyer in writing (e.g., via registered mail or express delivery) of the handover time, location, and required documents well in advance to ensure the buyer has sufficient time to prepare.
• Buyer Preparations: The buyer should organize relevant documents in advance, including ID card, purchase contract, and payment receipts, for identity verification during handover. Missing documents or inconsistent information may delay the handover process.

Handover Day Process

• Identity and Document Verification: Upon arrival at the handover site, the buyer must present documents such as an ID card and purchase contract for verification by the developer's staff to confirm identity and purchase eligibility. This step is crucial for confirming house ownership and requires strict information verification.
• Payment of Relevant Fees: The buyer must pay fees such as deed tax, maintenance fund, and property management fees. The deed tax is calculated proportionally based on house area and purchase status (e.g., first or second home). The maintenance fund is used for the repair and renovation of shared residential areas (e.g., exterior walls, elevators). Property management fees are prepaid for a certain period (e.g., six months or one year) as stipulated in the property service contract.
• On-site House Inspection: The buyer should inspect the house accompanied by the developer's professionals, focusing on house quality (e.g., wall cracks, leaks), area (whether consistent with the contract), and facilities and equipment (e.g., doors, windows, water, and electricity) to ensure they meet contractual agreements. Any issues found should be recorded promptly, and the developer should be requested to make corrections. A re-inspection is required after corrections are completed.
• Signing of Handover Documents: After confirming the house is in order, the buyer must sign documents such as the 'House Handover Form' and 'Occupancy Notice', and sign the 'Property Management Service Agreement' with the property company to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties regarding property services and fee payments.

Post-handover Matters

• Document Handover: The developer should hand over documents such as the 'Residential Quality Guarantee', 'Residential Use Manual', water and electricity circuit diagrams, and keys to the buyer. These documents are important for the buyer's subsequent use and maintenance of the house and should be kept safely.
• Property Rights Registration: The developer must assist the buyer in handling property rights registration procedures. The buyer must provide documents such as an ID card and purchase contract, and the developer will handle the property certificate at the real estate management department on behalf of the buyer. The property certificate is legal proof of house ownership, and the buyer should collect it promptly and verify the information.
