"Xinmin Helps" WeChat *** recently released a report "Miserable!".13 million yuan to buy a house, the child's enrollment qualification turned out to be "occupied"!Shanghai baby dad, want to cry without tears", reflecting that Mr. Huang, a citizen, decided to spend nearly 13 million yuan to replace a second-hand house that meets the admission requirements under the repeated promises of "no problem" from a well-known chain housing agency in Shanghai for his children to enroll in primary school. However, it was not until Mr. Huang sold the old house, signed the purchase contract, and paid a deposit of 600,000 yuan that the agent informed him that the "admission qualification" of the house had been used in 2021, and the child could not attend the primary school with the corresponding house. The incident immediately attracted widespread attention.
Coincidentally, Ms. Fang, a citizen, sent a request for help to Xinmin Evening News, telling about her family's painful experience of "being fooled to the point of collapse" when buying a new house. In order to improve the living environment, especially considering the needs of Dabao and Erbao, Ms. Fang plans to replace a new house with the same counterpart school as her current residence. When buying the "Dahua Wutongyue" in Anting Town, Jiading, the salesperson "patted his chest" and vouched: the child will definitely be able to enroll in the nearest Tongji Affiliated School. But after signing the contract and paying the first down payment, Ms. Fang learned that the corresponding school would not be determined until the new house was delivered in 2025.
Now where the children go to study has become a big problem, and if they want to check out, they must bear a huge amount of compensation according to the contract.
Stacked Guarantees. Buy a new home.
Ms. Fang told a reporter from Xinmin Evening News that in order to better take care of the big and small treasures at home, she considered replacing a new house with a larger area and moving the elderly to live together. Ms. Fang hopes that Erbao will also be able to attend this nine-year school to facilitate the elderly to pick up and drop off their children. As a result, choosing the same school as the current housing has become a "necessary condition" for Ms. Fang's family to buy a house.
After searching for a while, news came from the neighbors that the "Dahua Wutongyue" for sale in Lane 199 of Mixia Road should be the school that Ms. Fang wanted. On September 15, Ms. Fang consulted the salesperson about the "school corresponding to the real estate", and the other party sent her a screenshot of the document, in which the answer to "question 20" was circled with colored pencils, and the current counterpart school of the real estate is indeed consistent with Ms. Fang's expectations.
Chat history. In the face of the sentence attached to the article: "The actual follow-up situation shall be subject to the detailed rules promulgated by the Education Bureau in that year." Ms. Fang was worried all of a sudden, and she didn't dare to decide easily. Seeing that the buyers did not respond immediately, the sales staff hurriedly sent a WeChat message saying that "the community 5 kilometers away also goes to this school" and "the surrounding second-hand houses are on this school", and at the same time, the promotional brochure of the real estate "invincible one kilometer" also made a prominent mark as a high-quality package, and the name of any other school was not marked on it. On September 26, she signed a pre-sale contract with Shanghai Huajia Real Estate Development and paid the first down payment of 750,000 yuan, about 10% of the total house price of nearly 10 million yuan.
Brochure. Campus verification.
Worlds apart. But I never expected that the "variables" that followed would make Ms. Fang's family "almost collapse".
When selling the house, the salesperson swore that the third phase I bought would be delivered before December 2024, and it would not affect Dabao's "small promotion" in September 2025. But in October this year, the developer confirmed that it would not be until 2025 to hand over the property.
Ms. Fang said that according to the local education policy, "small promotion to junior high school" must also submit real estate certificates, household registration and other household consistent materials. If the real estate cannot be handed over before the semester, the child will face huge obstacles and obstacles to study.
Buying a new house, our family even the elderly have taken out their life savings. After my father was hospitalized, in order to save money, he didn't even let us invite a companion.
Ms. Fang felt deeply ashamed of the elderly, coupled with the many "uncertain factors" of her children's education, and it was difficult to sleep and eat every day. But when she asked to check out, the salesperson immediately "turned around" and said that "I must bear 10% of the total room price for liquidated damages".
Chat history. In desperation, Ms. Fang contacted the education department of Anting Town, Jiading District, to seek a solution, but the reply she received made her suddenly feel that "the sky is about to fall". *, the staff clearly told her that the corresponding schools could only be divided after the new houses were delivered, and that in terms of the current enrollment quota of the relevant schools, it might be Shanghai Tongji Huangdu Primary School and Huangdu Middle School, not Jiading Experimental Primary School and Middle School affiliated to Tongji University.
One side. You can't listen to it.
The Xinmin Evening News reporter dialed the sales of the real estate, and the customer service staff informed that the real estate has been sold to the fourth phase, and the contract stipulates that it will be delivered in June 2026, but it may be advanced to mid-to-late 2025 and delivered together with the second and third phases. When asked about the counterpart school of the real estate, the other party replied clearly: it is the nine-year experimental primary school and middle school affiliated to Tongji University, which are only 300 meters away from the real estate.
The Xinmin Evening News reporter asked again: Will the real estate be the counterpart of Tongji Huangdu Primary School and Middle School?The other party insisted: Unlikely. "Huangdu" is a school 3 kilometers away. Generally, the campus is divided into nearby areas, and the distance is less than 1 kilometer, and the campus is "impossible to run". ”
A reporter from Xinmin Evening News got in touch with the education department of Anting Town, Jiading District. The staff reminded that the off-plan housing will be delivered to the district education committee to determine the corresponding educational resources. Whether it is the counterpart of Tongji Affiliated School, according to the delivery of the new house in 2025, the allocation of relevant school places, even if the first phase of the real estate is now the counterpart Tongji Affiliated School, but the subsequent opening and delivery of the real estate is still subject to the school district division policy of that year, and cannot listen to the "one-sided words" of the developer or intermediary.
The Xinmin Evening News reporter then asked the developer's sales department "why when introducing the possible educational resources of the real estate to buyers, only the nine-year Tongji Affiliated School is highlighted." If the other party gives feedback, there will be a special department to explain. But as of press time, the Xinmin Evening News reporter has not received any response. After "Xinmin Help" intervened in the investigation, the relevant person in charge of the sales department promised Ms. Fang that the matter would be properly handled and the relevant parties would be coordinated to reach an agreement.
In this regard, the reporter of Xinmin Evening News will continue to pay attention.
