She asked what to look for at the pre-delivery home inspection

4 December 2025Jinan, Shandong Translated by AI

A client asked what details to check during her December 2 pre-delivery home visit. Every point from the I Ching divination matched what she found on site.

The screenshots were masked before they were posted. Names, avatars and birth details are covered in the originals; where a translated line reads [redacted], the source was covered too and nothing has been guessed.

Client

[redacted], I just want to ask, what details should I pay attention to for the pre-viewing on December 2nd?

[redacted], 就问12月2日预看房，要注意哪些细节?

Right now, underfloor heating, gas, and water are all not connected. The electricity is temporary power from the developer.

目前，地暖，煤气，水都没有接通，电是开发商零时的电

There are quite a few issues. 1. Problems with the water supply and drainage: either leaks, impurities in the water system, or low water pressure. 2. The mutual hexagram shows conflict: doors and cabinets will not fit perfectly, they may stick or be slightly crooked. You need to measure them carefully. 3. Electrical issues: the wiring layout is不合理不合理不合理unreasonable, you have to walk quite far to turn on some lights, it does not make much sense. Also check the gas stove and gas supply, they may be hard to ignite. 4. Some things are not securely fixed, with loose seams. It could be baseboards or gaps in the wall, check carefully. I suggest you keep video records and contact the developer. There will be arguments involved. A home inspector is optional; you can also find an online home inspector on Taobao, and go through the key points yourself. This fully furnished apartment is a bit shoddily built, not very well done. There are quite a few flaws you will have to fix slowly yourself. Also, you are taking delivery exactly in the Hai month, which is one of the influencing factors.

问题蛮多的。 1 下水上水问题，要么漏水要么是水系统里面有杂质，或者水量小。 2 互卦冲，门和柜子不是严丝合缝的，有点卡，斜，需要仔细去量着看。 3 电路问题，动线不合理，有些灯要跑很远才能开，挺莫名的。还要看看煤气灶和燃气，容易打不起来。 4 有东西不牢固，开线，可能是踢脚线或者是墙有点缝隙，你仔细看看。建议你留存好视频，找开发的人。会涉及口舌。验房师可有可无，你也可以直接淘宝线上的验房师，关注的几个点你自己查一遍。这个精装房有点豆腐渣工程，不是太到位，坑蛮多的要自己慢慢补上了。而且你交房正好在亥月，也是影响因素之一。

Client

By the way, the viewing ended today. It was exactly the same as what you found in the divination.

对了，今天看房结束了，和你开的挂一模一样

Just what you said: 1. The kitchen faucet has low water pressure. 2. The floor drain tiles in both bathrooms are damaged. 3. There are problems with the kitchen cabinets. 4. The wiring is at the TV position, but we decided to handle it ourselves, because we want to move the TV to a different spot.

就是你说的，1，厨房水龙头水小。2，两个卫生间地漏瓷砖有损坏。3，厨房柜子有问题。4，电线是电视机的位置，但是我们决定自己搞了。因为电视机要换位置。

Haha

哈哈

What is the situation with the floor drain?

地漏是啥情况

It is that under the floor drain, there is not an actual floor drain, it is a tile, and then they dug out a small square hole in the middle to use as the floor drain. The groove cut on this tile is done poorly, the cutting ground and broke the surrounding area. I told them directly about all the points you mentioned. When I went to see the house today, I just looked for each one according to your points, and every single one matched up exactly.

就是地漏下面不是地漏，是一块瓷砖，然后当中挖掉一个就是正方形的小孔。作为地漏嘛，这块瓷砖它开槽有问题，开槽把周边都是磨碎了，磨破了那。这个第六当中，周边都是磨的，就直接跟他说了，就是你说的每个点。我就直接今天去看房子的时候，就根据你这个点去找，一个个找，全部都对号入座。

You said the first point was doors and cabinets. The only places with doors and cabinets are the entryway shoe cabinet, all the doors in the kitchen, and the two bathrooms — other than those there are no doors, right? So I went to look, and it was in the kitchen. The doors are uneven, the metal corners in some places are faulty. Every point you mentioned, I found it right away, I did not even need to look elsewhere, oh, here is the problem.

你说的第一个点不是门跟柜子嘛，然后因为门跟柜子产生的地方只有一个是进门的鞋柜，一个是厨房里所有的门。然后还有就是两个厕所，除非有门，其他不是没有门的嘛。然后我就去找，就是在厨房里面。这个门凹凸不平的了，什么地方铁角有问题的，就是您说的每个点一找就找到，就是不需要其他去看的，哎，就这里有问题。

Then you said the second point was water pipe issues, or that the gas would be hard to ignite — since the gas is not installed yet, that is a kitchen issue. I went to check later, and sure enough, that problem exists. There are cracks too, cracks in the wall. The cracks are at the four corners, the wallpaper seams do not line up properly, it all matches what you said. Other people inspect houses and look here and there and cannot find anything. I just went straight down the first point.

然后你说第二个，那个就水管或者有问题，就是煤气容易打不出，因为它煤气还没有装。然后那就是厨房的问题。我后来去找了，的确就是，它存在的这个问题。什么有裂缝，墙也有裂缝。这个裂缝就是4个角有裂，墙纸有衔接，缝不到位，就是就跟你全部都对应。就是人家验房还这儿看那儿看，看不出名堂。我是直接第一条。

I just opened your divination notes on my phone. First point, okay, this spot, I told my mom, I told my parents this spot has a problem, go look, and then our whole family went over and found it, yes, there is a problem. Okay, second point, then what did you say in the divination, and we went to look, okay, that is the second problem. Then the home inspector guy and the staff there said, you guys are

我是直接拿你那张表格打打开手机看你给我打的卦。第一条好，这个地方来，他跟我妈跟我妈妈说，跟我爸妈说这个地方有问题好找，然后我们全家嘚儿找找到好有问题。好，第二条，然后猫猫挂里说有什么什么东西，然后我们找得儿找上去。好，第二条就是什么问题。然后，验房师的小哥哥还有他里面的那工作人员说，你们是
