Tips for Buying a Pre-Owned House for More Profit!

Jika pada artikel sebelumnya sudah dijelaskan tentang apa itu rumah inden dan apa saja keuntungannya serta kerugiannya. The disadvantages of buying a pre-owned house involve not only financial sacrifice but also time and effort. This time, we’ll explain tips for buying a pre-owned house for greater profit, as well as things to consider when buying a pre-owned house to avoid these losses.

Consider the Developer's Reputation

When deciding to buy a pre-owned house, it’s important to check the developer’s reputation. Ensure the developer has all the necessary permits, such as a Building Construction Permit (IMB), Building Use Permit (IPB), Land Use Permit (IPPT), site plan, and so on. You can also check with other customers for previous projects. Developers with a poor reputation are more likely to default later. You can check their portfolio, track record, and testimonials on Google Maps for past projects.

Read the Contract Carefully

Legally binding contracts should be read carefully. Ensure all agreements with the developer are clearly stated (amount, timeframe, rights, and obligations) in the agreement or contract. This includes the price, installment plan, construction schedule, handover deadline, and compensation and penalties for delays or defaults.

Detailed Building Technical Specifications

Don’t hesitate to ask questions about the building’s technical aspects, such as building materials, finishes, electrical and water installations. These technical details are important to avoid being misled by promotional advertisements and to ensure the house meets the specifications you will receive.

Down Payment After Bank Approval

When purchasing a pre-ordered home, never make a down payment if your mortgage (KPR) has been approved by the bank. Just because the developer has partnered with a bank doesn’t automatically mean your mortgage application will be accepted. The bank will still evaluate the buyer’s credit score and assess the buyer’s ability to repay the installments. Ensure all transactions are recorded and paid through a company account (PT), not an individual account, let alone a salesperson’s.

Visit the Site Regularly

Building a house is no quick task and can take years, depending on the size, type, structure, and shape of the house, especially if you’re buying a pre-ordered home. Professional and trusted developers will usually send regular progress updates via email or social media. However, to avoid disappointment later, you can visit the construction site regularly. Visiting the site in person also offers many advantages, such as assessing the quality of the building materials, the condition of the surrounding environment, and so on.
