Housing guideline confusion cleared

July 14 - The Ministry of Construction Thursday moved to clear confusion
over its new housing development guidelines.
To increase the number of affordable homes and curb soaring prices, the
State Council said that from June 1, homes smaller than 90 square metres
must account for at least 70 per cent of the total space of residential
housing development projects.
However, there has since been no explanation specifying the "90 square
metres" and "70 per cent" rules, which many believe are too ambiguous.
For example, in many regions, an apartment of 90 square metres could mean
90 square metres of "usable" area, while in fact it is measured at 110
square metres roughly in floor area.
Such ambiguities have partly delayed the implementation of the measures
in most cities and have been perplexing the real estate market, Xinhua
News Agency reported yesterday.
The ministry Thursday made it clear that the 90 square metres include
both the usable floor space and the shared public space in a residential
building.
With regard to the proportion of the smaller houses, the ministry
clarified that homes smaller than 90 square metres must account for at
least 70 per cent of the total floor space of any new residential
building.
It also said the land planned for medium and low price commercial houses
must be mainly reserved for the building of homes smaller than 90 square
metres. The ratio of such homes must not be breached. Developers must get
ministry approval if they change such ratios, the ministry said in a
circular issued Thursday.
