The regulation of the sale and demand of shops shall be improved

The Estate Agents Authority has also provided more supporting assistance in addition to regulating the interests of buyers and sellers in respect of the sale and leasing of non-residential properties.

There is no uniform calculation of the building area

At present, the non-residential properties in Hong Kong, that is, the sale and purchase of industrial and commercial shops, industrial buildings, commercial buildings and shops, are not regulated by a set of targeted legislation. The most important thing is through the Estate Agents Authority, through the Estate Agents Ordinance, Projects under the Pre-sale Consent Scheme are regulated by the Lands Department.

There is indeed a lot of imperfections in the sale of shops and shops, such as industrial buildings, commercial buildings and shopping malls, as well as the sale of shopping malls, which are not necessarily provided for. The details of the information is also difficult and residential new disk, and sales may not have a formal price, “seafood price” situation also appears.

What is more important is that the sale and purchase of industrial and commercial properties is still based on the calculation of the building area, and there is no uniform calculation of the building area. For example, the practical rate of the building is about 7%, and the utility rate of some 5%.

In the past, this issue has little effect, because most of the previous purchase of industrial and commercial shops are mainly investors, more familiar with the sale of property, and even conditional employment professionals to deal with the sale. However, in recent years, the Government has driven away the investors in the housing market through the “hot strokes”, and the owners have set off the trend of selling the shops and shops, and even attracting buyers who can not afford to get on the housing market The

A large number of unfamiliar workers and shops market novice influx, naturally easy to derive a variety of disputes, the State Administration of Taxation last year received complaints about industrial and commercial shops reached 84, 1.9 times the year.

As a result, it is also advisable for the authorities to impose restrictions on the sale and sale of non-residential properties. It is only now that the practice of issuing a practicing notice to the estate agent through the URA may not be able to solve the problem completely.

For example, the new practice notice requires a reasonable source of information, including first-time contract, developer book or surveyor, if the agency provides an area for the advertisement or to the customer. However, if the agent fails to grasp the relevant information, it is still possible to provide the area on its own basis, only to indicate that the figure has not been verified.

There are agents who are engaged in industrial and commercial shops, and it is difficult to find a lot of old buildings. It is difficult to find practical area information. If you want to add “unverified” words next to the area of ​​the advertisements, the practice is not ideal. And for the buyer, the final may not be able to get real estate figures on the real number.
