What are the risks of buying a house? Is it reliable to see a house online?

There are some potential risks in buying a house by live broadcast, and the reliability of online viewing also depends on the specific situation. Here are some related risks and precautions:

1. Authenticity of pictures and videos: When you look at a house on site or online, you can only know the appearance and internal situation of the house through pictures and videos. But sometimes these pictures and videos may be beautified or polished, which can't fully reflect the actual situation. Therefore, there may be a risk that the house does not match the actual description.

2. Can't fully understand the details of the house: Online viewing may not provide enough details and comprehensive understanding. You may not be able to observe the actual size of the house, the surrounding environment, noise and other factors. This may lead to your lack of complete understanding of the real situation and applicability of the house.

3. Can't feel the atmosphere of the house in person: Online viewing can't provide you with the opportunity to see the house in person, and you can't feel the atmosphere, light and smell of the house. These factors are very important to your comfort and satisfaction, and online viewing can't provide this experience.

4. Restrictions on online communication: In the online environment, your communication with real estate agents or homeowners may be restricted. You may not get the answer immediately, ask specific questions or have a deeper discussion. This may cause you to lack enough information and dialogue when making a decision.

5. Legal and compliance issues: In some areas, online house purchase may involve legal and compliance issues. Different regions may have different regulations and protection levels for online transactions. You need to know the relevant laws and regulations to ensure that you participate in the legal and safe trading process.

In order to reduce the risk, if you are going to buy a house through on-site or online viewing, you can consider the following suggestions:

-Collect as much information as possible: take more pictures and videos, and learn as much as possible about the details and actual situation of the house. If possible, ask for a live broadcast or video call to observe the house.

-Consulting professionals: consult real estate professionals, such as real estate agents or lawyers, for professional advice and suggestions. They can help you evaluate the feasibility and risks of the house and ensure that your rights and interests are protected.

-Deep learning room

House and area: Learn as much as possible about the area where the house is located through online maps, community forums and other resources. Consider the impact of school, transportation and infrastructure on your life and investment.

-Understand the purchase contract and protection measures: research and ensure that you understand the terms and conditions of the purchase contract. Understand the safeguard measures for refund, check-out and maintenance, and ensure that it is suitable for online house purchase.

Although there are certain risks in online house viewing, it also provides a convenient and flexible way to understand the house. It is important to make full investigation and preparation, and fully consider all factors before making a decision.
