There are many local housing associations where the private sector gathers people to build apartments, but noise is coming from several places.

Signing up as a member can only cost you money and you can lose money, so you have to carefully consider it.



Reporter Han Sang-woo reports.

In 2018, Mr. Kim saw an advertisement saying he could buy a house in Incheon for 200 million won, much cheaper than his market price.



It was a local housing association, where even if you did not buy the land yourself, you could join as a member and receive a house.



I signed up and paid 90 million won in both the down payment and the mid-payment for 3 years, but suddenly I got a registered mail last year saying I am not qualified to be a member.



Just before signing up, I took issue with the fact that I moved my address to another country for a while, and informed me that 40 million won was deducted as a fee and only 50 million won was received.



[Mr. Kim / Member of local housing association: I held and attended the association general meeting several times, and there was not a single word of this saying that I was unqualified.

After 3 years and 6 months had passed, I was notified by mail that I was ineligible.

(From the beginning) If there was a problem, would we have joined?]



However, it was confirmed that the union had never put Mr. Kim in the list of members.



[Incheon Jung-gu Office Official: (2018) I submitted a list of union members, and it is not on the list.

I don't deserve it in the first place...

.]



Kim suspects that he signed up knowing that he was not eligible from the beginning, but he repeats that the union is just as contracted.



A local housing association in Dongjak-gu, Seoul offered a sale price of around 700 million won and recruited members.



But recently, ahead of the start of construction, they were notified that they would pay an additional 700 million won per house, which is causing trouble.



Local housing associations are run by the private sector without public supervision, but the success rate is around 10%.



[Lim Seong-hwan / ABL Life WM Manager: Depending on the contract terms of the local housing association, additional contributions may be made, but damage may occur if you sign up for a low price.]



The Seoul Metropolitan Government investigated all 110 local housing associations and found out about the illegality I said I would check it, but unless the system is changed, the limits of management and supervision seem clear.
