Cancel the "common pool area" to let buyers understand consumption
Wang Guixia
Recently, the topic of "It is recommended to cancel the public space for commercial housing" has become the first trending search on Sina Weibo, arousing widespread concern.
Hong Yang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said that in the process of buying a house, buyers will encounter the problem of common pool area.
Committee member Hong Yang suggested that in the future, developers should sell houses based on the usable area, and the cost of the developer's shared area can be added to the total house price according to a certain percentage, so that everyone can buy it clearly.
The so-called shared area refers to the construction area of all public parts of the entire building shared by the property owners of the entire building, including elevator shafts, pipeline wells, stairwells, garbage passages, transformer rooms, equipment rooms, and public halls. , corridors, management and service rooms, etc.
Since commercial housing is traded on the basis of construction area and is linked to property fees, heating fees, etc., and the public pool area is included in the construction area and is not transparent, which affects the legitimate rights and interests of home buyers, the society has long criticized the public pool area for chaos.
When consumers buy commercial housing, they are often confused by the concepts of "public area" and "useable area". They do not know which is the real house purchase data, and disputes often arise.
For example, sometimes I bought a house of 100 square meters, but the actual usable area was only 70 square meters, which was shrunk by 30% all of a sudden.
As a joke said, "The combined area of all the houses in the community will definitely exceed the actual area of the community."
Due to the lack of a unified standard for the common pool area, which areas belong to the pool area and which areas are not, it is entirely up to the developers to talk about themselves. As a result, consumers do not know how much the pool area actually is, and it is difficult to measure it.
In this way, the "communal pool area" has become "plasticine". Developers can knead it at will, whether it is large or small, but consumers have no choice but to passively accept it.
Because developers have the right to speak and real information about the public pool area, it is easy to take the initiative to encroach on the rights and interests of consumers under the drive of interests, thus tending to expand the public pool area and increase the public pool ratio.
Moreover, a series of unreasonable charges are also derived from the shared area. For example, the property fee and heating fee are charged according to the shared area. , it is a considerable expenditure accumulated over several decades, causing improper infringement of consumer rights and interests.
Therefore, after the total cancellation of the public pool area, the pricing of the area within the suite can be implemented uniformly. Consumers can get as much usable area as they buy, so as to realize the understanding of payment and purchase with confidence, and avoid the development of commercial pool area.
At the same time, the unified standard for the purchase area is also in line with the fairness principle of clearly marked prices, which can eliminate the problem of information asymmetry, make the information of commercial housing further open and transparent, reduce unreasonable charges, and resolve many conflicts and disputes between owners, developers and properties, and promote social development. harmonious.
The cancellation of the public pool area and the use of the inner area for pricing are also in line with international standards and are more in line with my country's economic and social development trend.
Moreover, this move will not affect the purchase cost of consumers, but will make it easier for consumers to measure and calculate due to the real and reliable housing area, and promote the fair development of the commercial housing market.
At the same time, after the cancellation of the public pool area, developers can no longer adjust the proportion of public pools at will, which also prompts them to seriously strengthen the design and planning of public space, improve the quality of public space, improve the quality of property management services, and make owners more comfortable.
