以下全是我们长达一年半时间的HOUSE HUNTING经验, 几乎大部分的ESTAGE AGENT都有我们的名字在他们的MAIL LIST上了

1,一般要看中房子想BOOK APPOINTMENT需要和ESTAGE AGENT联系,然后得先在他们的AGENCY注册,这些可以在电话里办好.注册是为了保护卖家的一些安全.

2,看房选房时,要作比较,除了FREEHOLD,LEASEHOLD,FLAT和HOUSE,以下这些因素是很重要的:

A,房子的价格是否 WHININ OR JUST BANG ON YOUR BUDGET,

B,LOCATION, 先要选好大方向,比如说LONDON,SURREY,ESSEX,然后选小方向,比如说WOKING IN SURREY, 或是 BALHAM IN LONDON..ETC.

C,下面的几个因素都是对房价起着重要作用的,直接会REFLECT到房子的ASKING PRICE,根据你的个人需要选择:

房子内部装修,有人喜欢DIY,DIY就意味着INITIAL PAYMENT少些房子的ASKING PRICE就相对少很多在砍价方面也可多砍一些,但房子买后产生的装修费用和家具你得作提前预算.另一种就是有人喜欢一次性买到CONTEMPORARY LOOK HOUSE,这就意味着房子的ASKING PRICE 会比那些装修不好的房子贵很多, 当然好处就是购房后不会产生大的装修费用比较省心省事.根据自已的爱好选择.

房间大小,HOW SPACIOUS THE HOUSE AND ROOMS? 有无前后花园?花园的大小?花园的美观程度?是否有车库?没有车库是否是OFF STREET PARKING?是否被COVER在好学校的SCHOOL CATCHMENT区内?学校是小学还是高中?付近有没有大点的超市购物? 交通方便情况?离地铁和火车站步行多远?开车多远?离BUS 站多远? BUS到火车站多远?CRIME RATE如何?

以上这些都是房价定价的重要因素, ASKING PRICE的高低就在于这些因素, 记住同一个地区不是每个角落都是一样的价格,也要分好区和差区域的, 而分别好区和差区的ASKING PRICE就在于这个房子的LOCATION和以上写的那些重要因素.

关于交换签字购房合同须知：

The Purchase Contract(this may also be called an agreement)

The main provisions of the contract are:

The purchase price is GBP... and includes those items marked as "included" on the Fixtures,Fittings and Contents Form.

A deposit is required as a down payment.If the purchase cannot be completed due to the default of the seller,you will be entitled to the return of the deposit and may be able to claim compensation.

If for any reason you are unable to proceed with your purchase after exchange of contracts,you will be immediately liable to pay 10% of the Purchase Price to the seller(less any deposit already paid over) together with compensation for any loss and inconvenience suffered,which could be substantial.

The "contract rate" of interest is a penalty provision.If you do not pay the amount due on the completion date the seller will charge you penalty interest and you will not be able to move in until all outstanding monies,including penalty interest,are paid in full.It is therefore vitally important that you are fully in funds prior to the completion date.

The completion date the date you can move in,will be agreed and fixed at exchange of contracts.

Chuanchuanxiang,

They are very useful! May I ask one question? Do you know something about timber-framed house please? Many thanks.

timber-framed house means 两个意思，

1，这个房子的整体结构是由木材搭建的

2，这个房子只是里面的CEILING和部分墙壁是木材搭建的，这种房子你通常会看到CEILING上有几条横木，英国人说EXPOSED WOODEN BEAMS，这些BEAMS通常会在老房子里看到，也是英国所说的CHARACTER FEATURES，是这种房子的重要卖点之一。

特进来拜LZ大强人！我佩服的全体投地

好贴，顶一个！
