A large number of haunted house ads

  A lawyer told a reporter from China-Singapore Jingwei that "Habitat" is not a legal term. In general, houses that have experienced abnormal deaths (including but not limited to suicide, homicide, death from falling from the house, accidental death, etc.) can be called "haunted houses".

  Some insiders also said that "murder house" refers to a house or a courtyard where a homicide case has occurred and caused death on the spot. If no death results or death results occur outside the house or courtyard, it is not a "haunted house".

  No matter how it is defined, in ordinary people's cognition, the haunted house means "unlucky", and it is often feared. However, a reporter from China-Singapore Jingwei recently noticed that some real estate agents actually used the haunted house as a selling point and started advertising on second-hand trading platforms.

  A reporter from China-Singapore Jingwei searched on the transfer platform for the keyword "haunted house", and several pieces of real estate information related to it appeared.

  A real estate sale information description, "Super villas are sold at a low price, 1.2 million to buy a single-family villa, with a construction area of ​​538 square meters, European-style, back-to-front water, layered forests, sunrises and hundreds of birdsongs, night tour of ghosts." A description, "Haunted house, was killed in the bathroom! He was stabbed in the bathroom with a few knives and died without treatment. The owner did not dare to ask for it, and the price was low, and the money was given!"

Source of information on sale of "Haunted House": Zhuan Zhuan

  Another sale information description is even more horrifying, "The low-cost house is sold at a low price, and sporadic events occur frequently, and the owner throws tears at a low price. The elderly in the seventies are panic, the children cry more and more in the middle of the night, and the owner cannot sleep at night. Remote control? Corridor lights in the middle of the night? Welcome to watch, come and find out!"

  China-Singapore Jingwei reporter contacted the publisher of the above three messages.

  Li Siyong (pseudonym), the publisher of the first message, stated that he was a real estate agent, and he recently released several sales information on the second-hand trading platform. As for why it is described in such a horrible language, Li Siyong said that this is a way of promotion, and this villa is indeed a haunted house.

  "I specialize in selling villas. This single-family villa is located in Sanshui District of Foshan City. It was delivered in 2016. It has been idle for more than a year. The practical area is 460 square meters. The price is very high, and it is at least several hundred thousand cheaper than the market price. . This villa is indeed dead, but the specific situation can not be said. "Li Siyong said, "The reason why it is described so horror is to attract people, but the house is indeed real. Now the real estate competition is so fierce, it must always be different. a little."

  Li Siyong also said, "There are a lot of people consulting this house, and some customers call me in the middle of the night, let me take him to the house, it is scared to death, now I have to turn off my mobile phone at night. Most of the consultations are I don’t care if it’s a haunted house, now there is such a horrible house. If you don’t think about this one, I will have everything else.”

  The reporter of China Jingxin Jingwei then contacted Zhao Shunli (pseudonym), a publisher of information about the house, through other second-hand trading platforms. Zhao Shunli called himself an agent of a real estate company in Foshan, Guangdong. In the chat, Zhao Shunli revealed that many customers searched for his posts from second-hand trading platforms and came to see the room. When asked if there are still houses available, Zhao Shunli stated that there is currently a house available in the house, which can be viewed at any time. "The sets you looked at before were discontinued and sold."

  According to Zhao Shunli's introduction, the transaction price of the haunted house is at least 20% lower than the market price, and many people buy it with the mentality of "leaking the leak", so the transaction cycle is often very fast, ranging from 3 to 5 days, and usually about 10 days Will be able to shoot.

  "No one will buy it to live by themselves, and usually rent it out after buying it. After a few years, they will sell it and make a profit." Zhao Shunli said that these buyers generally come straight to the haunted house. ?nonexistent."

  However, it is unclear whether the buyer will tell the house information truthfully when renting the house to the tenant.

  During a chat with a reporter from China-Singapore Jingwei, Zhao Shunli stated that his existing set of villas had been booked by a client. "The current price is 950,000. If you buy at the market price, you will get at least 1.5 million. However, the owner is now short of money and eager to sell."

"Habitat" can still be a gimmick?

  Unlike Li Siyong and Zhao Shunli who have real haunted house listings, some haunted house information publishers do not have haunted house listings in their hands, but only use the haunted house as a gimmick to attract customers. Once the "drainage" is successful, they will sell them. Real estate to sell.

  The second and third "Haunted Mansion" information publishers are also real estate agents, but they are new house agents who publish Haunted House information to attract others to watch. "Someone sees the information about the haunted house, and will contact us out of curiosity, so that we can pull customers and sell other new houses. In fact, the haunted house does not exist," said one of the real estate agents.

  Is it a widespread phenomenon in the industry to promote real estate with a "bad house" as a gimmick?

  An intermediary in Beijing, a large real estate agency, said the company does not allow the use of murderous houses as a gimmick. "The property we recommend must be real and can be found on both the website and the app." The intermediary also said that the company will screen the haunted house and see some haunted house listings in the background.

  The intermediary then recommended a set of "haunted houses" in Fengtai District, Beijing, with a price of 50,000 yuan per level. The reporter of China Jingxin Jingwei noticed that the price of houses with the same area and the same orientation as this house is about 55,000 to 60,000 yuan per level. "The price is still negotiable." The intermediary said that the transaction price of the haunted house has no fixed rules, but in general it is at least 10% cheaper than the market price, and secondly depends on the owner's mentality.

The hidden secret

  An intermediary of a large real estate brokerage company said that for the haunted house, their company requires that if the intermediary knows, it should inform the buyer 100% and truthfully. If the seller conceals the fact of the murderous house, the intermediary does not know it, nor informs the buyer, and the transaction has been concluded, if the later proves that it is indeed the murderous house, the buyer can check out and the company will pay. "Even if you are renting a house, you have to tell the tenant whether the house is a murderous house. If you deliberately hide it, you will be informed of it after you find it," the agent said.

  Meng Bo, a lawyer from Beijing Jingshi Law Firm, told the client of Sino-Singapore Jingwei that “haunted house” is not a legal term. If there have been homicides, suicides, accidental deaths, etc. in the house, both the intermediary and the seller should disclose it truthfully. If no murders, suicides, or accidental deaths have occurred in the house, but the intermediary claims that the house is a "haunted house," it involves false propaganda. Both of these acts are contrary to public order and good customs, and violate the principle of good faith.

  Meng Bo said that although "haunted house" is not a professional legal term, in reality, "haunted house" usually affects the buyer's decision to buy a house, and may also affect the price of the house. Sellers and intermediaries are obliged to inform, otherwise they may be liable for refunds and compensation for check-out.

  Meng Bo said that Article 54 of the Contract Law stipulates that one party uses fraudulent means to make the other party's contract concluded against the true intentions, the injured party has the right to request the people's court or arbitration institution to change or cancel. Therefore, for the fraudulent act of the seller deliberately concealing the fact of the "haunted house", the buyer who enjoys the right of cancellation can request the court or arbitration institution to cancel the sale contract in accordance with the contract.
