FAQ

Why do first-hand new properties also need building inspections?

Although there are not as many problems in first-hand new buildings as in second-hand buildings, more emphasis is placed on the acceptance of construction quality and the prevention of potential risks. For example, if there are cracks in the windows or the walls of air-conditioners, if not dealt with in time, they may develop into more serious problems such as water seepage or peeling in the wall in the future. Developers generally provide a six-month building inspection period. When issues are found in the unit, the owner can submit a repair list within the time limit and request the developer to perform repairs.
