Central media The shared area is "harmful", and it will be completely canceled in 2024? The answer is clearCommon areas have been a widespread complaint among home buyers since ancient times. In recent years, people from all walks of life have called for the abolition of the practice of common areas. The so-called common area refers to the part of the common space that must be shared when buying a house, such as corridors, elevator shafts, lobbies, etc. This means that the actual usable area is much smaller than the area indicated on the title deed. Generally speaking, multi-storey dwellings account for about 10-15% of the common area, while high-rise buildings account for more than 25-30% of the common area.
In recent years, there has been a growing demand for the abolition of common area, mainly for three reasons: First, only China is the only country in the world that still uses the common area calculation method, and real estate developers** in other countries are based on the actual usable area. At the same time, property fees, heating fees, etc. are also charged according to the actual area used. Why can't China follow the lead of other countries and set prices based on actual usable area?
Secondly, the housing prices in China remain high, and a house can easily cost millions, and if the common area is included, buyers need to pay hundreds of thousands or even millions more, which is too much pressure. If the common area is abolished and only the actual usable area is priced, the cost of buying a house will be significantly reduced.
At the same time, it is unacceptable to ask buyers to bear the heating costs, property fees and other expenses incurred by the common area. Many property owners have expressed their dissatisfaction that they do not really enjoy the services that come with the common area, but they have to pay for it, which is unacceptable.
First of all, the common area of each home depends on the developer's own decision-making, and there is no industry-wide standard. In the case of a developer with a good conscience, some common area may be reduced, while in the case of a bad developer, some may be increased.
At the same time, there is a problem of superposition calculations in the calculation of common area. For example, underground parking spaces are already counted, but developers may still sell parking spaces to owners. Obviously, the current treatment of common areas seems to be a bit confusing and unfairly for home buyers, so there is a growing call for the removal of common areas.
In the face of the rising calls for the abolition of common area in society, Xinhua News Agency once pointed out in an article entitled "Buying a 100-square-meter house, but only 70 square meters are actually obtained, and the "common area" makes us feel hurt": The lack of common area and the lack of unified standards have led to buyers needing to pay higher fees when buying a house, and even property fees and heating fees will be higher in the future.
According to the point of view of the above article, as long as the design is appropriate, China can abolish the common area in the future, and in line with international standards, there will still be a market for real estate. In fact, for example, Chongqing has already abolished the common area. Hefei, on the other hand, said it was studying the possibility of abolishing the common area. More and more cities are expected to join the process of abolishing common areas in the future.
Now the question arises, will the shared area be completely abolished in 2024? In fact, the CCTV news client once published "The area of the shared area should be abolished? The problem is not simple", which confirms the area of the shared area"The harm is far-reaching"At the same time, it is unavoidable that it is unavoidable to completely cancel the area of the shared area, because the corridors, lobbies, equipment rooms, elevator halls and other public areas of the community need to be apportioned. Obviously, it is unlikely that the total abolition of shared area will be carried out in the short term.
Although China cannot completely abolish the area of shared areas in the short term, it can be prepared to abolish the area of shared areas first: first, industry standards for the area allocation of shared areas should be formulated as soon as possible. Make sure everyone can figure out how much space they're going to be responsible for. Truly achieve the openness and transparency of the area of the shared area.
Finally, all localities should gradually promote the price of housing prices based on the area of the suite, and the subsequent property fees and other expenses should also be calculated according to the area of the suite. Of course, the price may be slightly higher depending on the size of the suite, but doing so can make buyers feel that the cost of buying a house is more reasonable.
