Painted pool and other scams of Chinese builders (7 photos)

Let's draw - we'll live! There are all sorts of murky schemes to scam buyers in construction.





Pool? Better - a drawing of a pool!

In the Chinese city of Changsha, the developer promised apartment buyers “dense vegetation and a view of a park with a lake.” And he didn’t deceive me, the devil!

He brought bushes into the yard of the new house, bought blue linoleum and laid out the yard in the shape of a lake. He even didn’t skimp on throwing a small wooden bridge over the “painted” pool to make it look more impressive from above.



Do you have a swimming pool? I imagine that developer as Jack Sparrow!

He showed photographs to clients exclusively from the top floor, where it is difficult to discern that the water is fake. And when clients began to receive the keys, the first thing they did was go out into the yard.

The word shock did not describe their state. After all, no one imagined that it was possible to throw it like that. The developer, in his own way, turned out to be a pioneer in this method.





Look, a Chinese man walks on water, well, a purely Chinese Jesus!

Moreover, the developer half removed the plants in the tubs in order to photograph the parks in other places. And instead of a lawn there were rolled out grass rolls that died off after a few weeks.

The developer from Changsha insists that the contract clearly stated: “View of a park with an artificial lake,” and not the lake itself! That people will be able to see this landscape in the yard from the window, and not walk through it!



But this is an island of paradise green spaces, as they wrote in the booklet

He said the houses were built to government standards and there were no recorded promises to build a swimming pool in the yard. So he doesn’t face anything in court, but he’s ready to negotiate with homeowners so as not to cause too much of a scandal online.

Glued windows, wherever I want, I glue them there

In a house in Qingdao, on one of the walls, instead of real windows, there are printouts from an industrial printer pasted onto the wall! They were simply carefully glued on.



At the same time, there are no complaints about the residents, because according to the plans, windows in these places were not promised to them. Why such deception? Didn't have enough money for a number of windows during construction? Or they hide holes in the walls behind stickers.

The last version turned out to be almost true. The developer said that there was a staircase along the wall, so the windows were glued on just for the sake of beauty and symmetry. So that the wall does not seem gloomy and boring.



Wasted space on stickers, stupid developer, stupid!

Why glue windows when you can paint a mural and everyone will be delighted, and the ladies will glorify the developer? I don’t know why murals in China are not as popular as in our own St. Petersburg. There don't seem to be any laws against them.

In the case of window stickers, this is not even a scam, but rather a case of “they wanted the best, but it turned out to be stupid.” And these windows disturbed residents more with their fakeness than they pleased with their aesthetics.



There is a tourist village painted with murals in China.
