Buy a house next to the Department of Defense. What are the advantages and disadvantages??
Buying a house or property that is sold at auction by the Department of Public Works is an attractive choice for many people because they often get the property at a lower price, but it comes with risks and precautions that need to be carefully considered.
The First House, Part 2
🟠 Advantages of buying a house from the Department of Justice
1. Very cheaper than the market
• This is the main reason why most people are interested, because the opening price of the auction is significantly lower than the general market price, possibly down to 10-50%.
• It's a great opportunity for people who want to buy to live for themselves or investors who want to profit from resale or lease.
2. Have a good location opportunity
• Confiscated property is often a previously inhabited property, many of which may be in a good location, city center, or a rare gold location on the regular market.
3. Transparent and verifiable procedures
• The auction sales process is in accordance with the law. There are clear procedures and documents can be reviewed at the Department of Public Works, ensuring its legality.
4. No transfer fee (in some cases)
• In some cases, buyers of property at auction may receive an exemption from the transfer fee, which saves another part of the cost.
🟠 Disadvantages and risks to consider
1. Actual home condition (cannot be examined in detail)
• Assets sold at auction will be sold in true condition. We may not have the opportunity to thoroughly inspect the house before the auction, leaving unaware of any damage to the house, such as water systems, lighting systems, or structures that require major repairs, which will become an additional cost after purchase.
2. Original resident problem
• If the original owner or tenant is still living in the house, we, as the new buyer, will have to pursue an eviction lawsuit. This may take time and cost legal litigation to actually take possession of the house.
3. Latent costs and servitude
• Despite the cheap purchase price, we may be responsible for certain types of liabilities attached to the property, e.g.
♫ Mortgage debt (if purchased by mortgage)
~ Overdue central fee of a village or condo
~ Overdue land and building taxes
4. Competition in bidding
• The auction price may be higher than intended because of competition with other bidders or even banks (creditors) who may bid at a high price to get the most debt compensation.
5. Risk of forfeiting deposit
• If we win the auction but cannot pay for the house as scheduled (within 15-30 days), the Department of Enforcement is entitled to forfeit all deposits placed.
More important precautions 👇🏻
• Check the documents as closely as possible, study the announcement of sale at auction, and inquire the Department of Public Works about the obligations of the property, such as mortgage or no residents.
• Calculate the budget carefully. There should be reserves for, repair costs and legal expenses (such as eviction charges) in addition to the auction price of the house.
• The risk of former residents refusing to move out of their homes. If they are not callous enough, we may not dare to take legal action to evict them, losing their benefits.
• Must consult experts to help verify information and advise
It can be seen that buying a house from the Department of Justice needs to prepare for the potential risks, so do as much homework as possible.
