Real estate such as land and houses is the most common and valuable property of enterprises and the masses, and through the unified registration of real estate, property rights can be clarified and the rights and interests of enterprises and the masses can be avoided.

According to the Ministry of Natural Resources, there are currently about 3000,40000 halls and 40,7 windows across the country, providing various registration services for 9,3 people and enterprises every day, and issuing more than 6 million real estate property certificates and more than 2000 million real estate registration certificates.

Tian Wenbiao introduced that over the past ten years, China's unified real estate registration system with the "Interim Regulations on Real Estate Registration" as the core and supporting the implementation rules, operating specifications, local regulations, etc. has basically taken shape. The Real Estate Registration Law has been open to the public for comments, and the real estate registration information platform connected at the national, provincial, municipal and county levels has been running smoothly, and the real estate registration database covers the whole country and is updated in real time, containing more than 15.<> billion pieces of real estate registration information.

Tian Wenbiao said that the next step is to continue to improve the level of legalization and standardization of real estate registration, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of all kinds of property rights subjects, and protect property rights more effectively. Strengthen the sharing, analysis, and application of registration information, give play to the utility of data, and more fully reflect the value of registration data.

Will house prices fall?

Many believe that real estate registration will be a powerful medicine for rapid house prices. In this regard, relevant experts said in 2018 that the impact of the introduction of the real estate registration system on housing prices is not as great as imagined, because the real estate registration system does not directly affect housing prices.

Zhu Daolin, director of the Department of Land Resources Management of China Agricultural University, said that the reason why our country carried out unified real estate registration this time is to integrate the original registration scattered in different departments and integrate it under one platform and one system and one set of certificates, which may not have such obvious impact on housing prices.

House prices themselves are also affected by various factors, including the economic situation, financial environment, supply and demand and even corresponding policies.
