In addition, when returning the house, the buyer can claim the following damages:
(1) moving expenses;
(2) decoration fee;
(3) house price difference loss;
(4) legal fees.
In addition, after being found to be deceived into a "haunted house", you should claim to terminate the house sales contract within one year after you know or should know that it is a "haunted house". In practice, the court generally believes that a person who has committed suicide or murder and thus caused heavy casualties can be regarded as a "haunted house". Death caused by illness, natural death or accidents is not counted.
The dispute over the sale of a "haunted house" is a contract dispute, because it directly affects whether the buyer buys the house or not, which is a major fact, so the seller should clearly inform the buyer when selling the house. The relevant laws and regulations of our country have not stipulated the "haunted house", so the folk customs about "haunted house" can be applied.
If the seller intentionally conceals the important fact of "haunted house" in order to sell the house or sell it at a high price, it violates the principle of good faith in civil activities and its behavior constitutes fraud. The contract signed by both parties is a revocable contract. The buyer can claim that the economic value of the purchased house is impaired due to the "haunted house" and ask the seller to return the purchase price and pay interest; However, property buyers know that it is a "haunted house" and buy it except. The right to cancel a contract has a time limit, and in principle it should be exercised within one year from the date when it knows or should know the reasons for cancellation.
It should be noted that those houses that are said to be haunted houses that catch the wind and catch shadows, or houses that have been killed by accidents such as drowning, electric shock, fire, gas poisoning, etc., are generally not considered as "haunted houses" by the courts. Those who resort to the court as "haunted houses" on the basis of subjective assumptions, such as thinking that they often have nightmares after living in them, and their families' businesses close down, will usually not be supported by the court. After some people buy a house, please ask the so-called Mr. Feng Shui to look at the house, thinking that the house is unlucky, and the court will not recognize it.
before buying a house, buyers should inquire more about the nearby residents or residential properties to reduce the risk; In addition, when signing a contract with the seller, the buyer and the buyer can add a clause on the disclosure of "haunted house" information according to the facts of the house. This can urge the seller to seriously consider the risk of concealing such information, and also give the buyer a contractual basis in case of disputes.
legal basis: China's civil code does not make a typological distinction between the defects of things, and its article 615th stipulates: "The seller shall deliver the subject matter according to the agreed quality requirements. If the seller provides a description of the quality of the subject matter, the delivered subject matter shall meet the quality requirements of the description. "
