Your First Visit to a Hangzhou Sales Office: A Step-by-Step Checklist

When entering a sales office for the first time, the common moving lines are the location sand table, project sand table, model room, and negotiation table. After walking around, you may remember the lighting, fragrance and "last few apartments", but not the house number, permitted building, bedroom width and total expenditure. A more effective view is to reverse the order: first confirm whether there is a specific house available today that matches your budget and family, then check the documents, then look at the house type and real movement, and finally discuss the price. Below is a list that you can copy directly to your phone’s Notes. It can be used to view any Hangzhou new disk; when preparing to view Cheuk Nang Riverside, you can also send the three items you are most concerned about to the docking staff first when making an appointment, and ask to arrange the transfer according to your questions.

Ten minutes before going out: Write down your goals for viewing the property clearly

The more information the sales office has, the better, but you must first know what information is worth bringing back. Complete five empties before going out:

• Number of permanent residents: ____; possible changes in the next five years: ____
• Work location and acceptable commuting methods: ____
• Maximum total expenditure, not just down payment: ____
• Must have functions: ____ (such as independent work room, double bathroom, elderly room)
• Clearly unacceptable: ____ (such as elevated areas, hidden guards, too low floors, difficulty in accessibility)

Also bring a power bank, a measuring tape or laser rangefinder, a plan of the candidate house, and this list. For answers involving funds and contracts, try to ask for words or documents that can be retained, and do not rely on memory after returning home.

The first stop is not a sandbox: first ask which set you can watch and talk about today.

Please take three minutes to confirm before entering:

• □ What are the specific buildings, units, floors, and room numbers that meet the budget and house type requirements?
• □ What is the area, orientation, and price document date of these properties?
• □ Are you visiting a specific house, a physical model room, or a non-delivered model room today?
• □ What are the differences between the display space and the house to be purchased in terms of building, floor height, orientation, window opening and delivery standards?

If there is no corresponding specific house available for the time being, you can also look at the project, but you should define this visit as "understanding the product" and do not mistake the experience in the model room for the purchase judgment of a certain suite.

Second stop: Use your mobile phone to take a photo of the document number, and not just listen to “five certificates are complete”

According to the Hangzhou City Real Estate Management Policy Questions and Answers, real estate development companies should publish commercial housing pre-sale licenses, land use rights certificates, construction project planning licenses, construction project construction licenses, commercial housing demonstration contract texts, etc. At least record on site:

• □ Can the legal name and promotional name of the project correspond?
• □ Development enterprises and payment and contract signing entities;
• □ Sales license or current sales document number and date of issuance;
• □ The building covered by the license and the number of the house to be purchased;
• □ Land use and land use right period;
• □ Disclosure of unfavorable factors and overall planning plan;
• □ Commercial housing sales contract and supplementary agreement version;
• □ Pre-sale funds or agreed collection account information.

When taking a photo, take a complete picture of the file title, number, range and date. Having a license for one batch does not mean that all buildings in the entire project can be sold.

The third stop: The sand table only solves the problem of direction, not distance.

When looking at the sand table, first look for the north, and then the building to be purchased, without first listening to the landscape story. Confirm item by item:

• □ Building orientation, relationship between front and rear buildings and adjacent buildings;
• □ Community entrances and exits, pedestrian and vehicle movement lines;
• □ Basement entrance, non-motorized garage, express delivery and garbage points;
• □ Power transformation and distribution, pump room, air shaft, equipment room and fire escape;
• □ Planning contents that have not yet been completed inside and outside the red line, which ones are final documents and which ones are just for display;
• □ The source and current status of information on rivers, roads, businesses, schools, rail transit, etc.

Real estate advertisements shall not indicate the location of the project in terms of the time required to reach a specific reference object, nor may they make misleading publicity about transportation, commerce, culture and education under planning or construction. If you encounter statements such as "a few minutes to Hangzhou east" or "a school at your doorstep", ask instead about the actual route, distance, planning documents, and current regulations of the admissions department.

Fourth stop: Look at the model room, turn off the lights first, and then measure the dimensions

Model rooms are the easiest to make people feel comfortable, and they also need to slow down the most. Go in the following order:

Confirm the identity of the model room first

• □ Whether it has the same apartment type, building, orientation and floor height as the house to be purchased;
• □ Whether to demolish or modify walls, change door openings or use non-delivered decoration;
• □ Whether the furniture is of regular size;
• □ Which display equipment, storage and soft furnishings are included in the contract delivery standards.

Make six more sets of net dimensions

• □ Does the door leaf conflict with the passage after the entrance cabinet is made?
• □ Whether the dining chair can still pass normally after being pulled out;
• □ Whether the sofa and TV wall in the living room are suitable for your own furniture;
• □ The remaining clear width of the master bedroom after placing a normal bed, bedside table and wardrobe;
• □ After putting down the bed for the first time, can you open the door, open the cupboard, and walk to the window?
• □ Whether kitchen refrigerator doors, countertops, small appliances, and two people turning around are true.

Finally, check the problem of "it will only appear after you stay for a long time"

• □ Where to store laundry, drying and cleaning tools;
• □ Whether there is any conflict between the bathroom wet area, floor drain, door leaf and storage;
• □ Air conditioning indoor and outdoor units, gas, smoke exhaust and socket points;
• □ Road, equipment and neighborhood sounds with windows open and closed;
• □ After deducting the cabinet, is the storage sufficient?
• □ Is it safe for the elderly and children to go to the bathroom at night?

The specific standards applicable to new residential buildings should be checked against the project design approval basis. Even if the project introduction complies with the national "Residential Project Specification" GB 55038-2025, it still depends on the specific housing source and contract delivery content, and a standard name cannot be used instead of on-site measurements.

Stop 5: Don’t take the shuttle bus directly, walk the real route yourself

Starting from the external road of the project, follow the actual future use path:

• □ Real walking route from bus station, parking point or planned rail station to the entrance of the community;
• □ Whether there is any cover on rainy days, whether it is convenient to cross the street, and how the lighting is at night;
• □ Whether it is necessary to detour from the entrance to the building to be purchased and from the parking space to the elevator hall;
• □ Basement ramp, lighting, ventilation, mobile phone signal and signs of water accumulation;
• □ Number of elevators, waiting halls, fire protection facilities and equipment room locations;
• □ Whether children's activity areas, rest areas, express delivery, garbage and non-motor vehicle traffic lines interfere with each other.

Daylight, road sounds, business operations and traffic congestion are all related to time. If a house is a final candidate, try to review it at least once during the morning and evening rush hours on weekdays, on weekends, or after rain.

Stop Six: Sit down at the negotiation table and only discuss what can be included in the specific room number and contract.

First, we need a fee schedule for a specific room number and break down the total price:

• □ Total house price, priced area and unit price;
• □ Discount conditions, validity period and price when conditions are not met;
• □ Calculation assumptions and dates for down payments, loans, and taxes;
• □ Methods and fees for obtaining or using parking spaces;
• □ Property service entities and property fee billing standards;
• □ Decoration, equipment, maintenance funds and other expenses;
• □ Handling of subscription, payment, loan disapproval, cancellation and default.

Then get the complete contract text, attachments and supplementary agreements. The 2023 version of the Zhejiang Province commercial housing sales contract sample text has pre-sale and current-sale versions respectively, focusing on the basic condition of the house, area difference, price, delivery, planning changes, decorative equipment, infrastructure, quality warranty, property and liability for breach of contract. If a verbal commitment affects the decision, it should be confirmed whether it can be written into a contract or attachment.

Don't sign a document you haven't finished reading when you're tired, hungry, or feeling rushed. What is really scarce is your judgment, not a "last set" without written basis.

Before leaving the sales office: Do these four things so you can compare the best the next day

1. List the unanswered questions and ask the contact person to add them in a retainable way;
2. Photos are named according to "date-project-building-floor-orientation-location";
3. Divide government/public announcement documents, project publicity, and contract information into three folders and do not mix them;
4. Within 24 hours after returning home, review the property in the three columns of "Satisfied, To Be Verified, and Unacceptable" and do not give the total score directly at the sales office.

One minute exit record

I’m going to watch Cheuk Nang Riverside. What should I say more effectively when making an appointment?

Cheuk Nang Riverside official website displays the LinpingChongxian project’s buildings, parks, waterfront environment and unit sizes of approximately 65 sq m, 67 sq m, 88 sq m, and 138 sq m. Instead of just saying "I want to come and see", it is recommended to directly select your task when making an appointment:

• "For one or two people to live, focus on comparing the actual net size of one-bedroom of approximately 65 sq m and two-bedroom of approximately 67 sq m";
• "For a family of three, I would like to check the movement of bedrooms, storage and bathrooms of about 88 sq m sooner or later";
• "Improvement needs, focusing on about 138 sq m of dynamic and static partitions, double bathrooms and senior night routes";
• "First check the sales basis, licensed building and specific housing availability on the day before deciding whether to visit."

In this way, the project party can prepare the corresponding apartment types and documents in advance, and you don't have to go through a set of standard procedures that have nothing to do with your needs on site.

First check the house type and project pictures on the Cheuk Nang Riverside official website, call again 0571-8630-9988 reserve. Indicate the number of permanent residents, the target area and the three items you are most concerned about, and the consultant can arrange on-site movement according to your viewing list.
