Wuxi Property Market New Deal: Purchases are still restricted within 2 years of divorce, and the down payment for the second home is not less than 60%

  On August 30, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province officially issued the "Notice of the Municipal Government Office on Further Promoting the Stable and Healthy Development of the City's Real Estate Market." The "Notice" issued this time further upgraded the purchase restriction policy, and at the same time tightened the tax content and loan policy for housing transactions.

  Judging from the content of the "Notice", this policy mainly includes five aspects, including strengthening land market control, supporting residents' reasonable self-occupation needs, resolutely curbing speculation and real estate speculation, rectifying and regulating the real estate market order, and strengthening real estate market monitoring and analysis.

  In terms of resolutely curbing speculative real estate speculation, the current policy is clear and perfects the purchase restriction policy of commercial housing. For couples who purchase commercial housing within 2 years after their divorce, the number of housing units owned by the family before the divorce is calculated based on the number of housing units owned by the family before the divorce.

  Yan Yuejin, research director of E-House Think Tank Center, pointed out that this is the core content of this policy. According to Wuxi's existing house purchase policy, two sets of local household registration are allowed to subscribe, and one set of non-local household registration is allowed under the conditions of 2 years of social security. Such policies are also to prevent fraudulent purchases by fake divorces. This is also an important manifestation of this year's purchase restriction and patching. Through this kind of policy, after a false divorce, both spouses will not increase their new home purchase qualifications, whether it is for local or foreign household registration.

  In terms of tax regulation and control, the time limit for VAT exemption for personal housing transfer in urban areas (excluding key areas for shantytown reconstruction) has been adjusted from 2 years to 5 years.

  In addition, as agreed upon by the market interest rate pricing self-discipline mechanism of Jiangsu Province, the differentiated housing credit policy in Wuxi urban area will be adjusted. For those households who already own a house and have not settled the corresponding housing loans, apply for commercial personal housing loans to purchase commercial housing again. , The minimum down payment ratio is adjusted to not less than 60%.

  It is worth mentioning that the policy puts forward for the first time a “penetrating verification of the source of funds for land purchase”. Industry insiders believe that such regulations have been rarely mentioned in the past few years, and this re-raising has very strong signal significance. In fact, after the 930 policy in 2016, there were such expressions all over the country, and there were few similar expressions in the following years. The content of the penetrating inspection mentioned by Wuxi this time is in line with the policy guidance of the central government and Jiangsu Province, that is, the spirit of the 820 Housing and Enterprise Symposium of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the Central Bank, and the guidance of the classification and regulation of residential land that Jiangsu has just mentioned, which is helpful To combat Wuxi's recent land price speculation and other phenomena, it is also the content that relevant real estate companies need to pay attention to.

  At the same time, tax inspections and market supervision were strengthened for the transactions of hot school district housing, and the behavior of speculating on school district housing concepts and driving up second-hand housing prices was severely cracked down. Stop the implementation of the relief policy regarding pre-sale permits and capital supervision of commercial housing during the epidemic.

The following is the full text of the New Deal:
