Do different countries have different housing policies? What is the difference?

Different countries have different housing policies. If you want to buy a house abroad, understanding local policies is the first step. Here, Bian Xiao has compiled some national housing policies for you. Come and have a look if you need it.

I. Australia

Buying a house in Australia does not mean that you can immigrate, but you can get extra points for applying for immigration. There is no restriction on buying a house in Australia. The loan interest rate is the same as that of domestic residents, and the repayment method is flexible. Lenders are allowed to pay only interest for the first five years without repaying the principal. If you buy a house and sell it for less than a year, you need to pay 50% capital gains tax. Although there is no property tax in Australia, land tax is required. In addition, immediate family members do not have inheritance tax, and non-immediate family members need to pay up to 50% inheritance tax.

Second, the United States

The United States does not restrict foreigners from buying houses in the United States, and there is no restriction on the number of sets. Anyone and foreigners of any status can buy a house in the United States as long as they have legal passports and visas. But if you want to sell a house, there will be some differences in profit taxation, that is, income tax.

Third, New Zealand.

As long as the investment of the buyer does not exceed NZD 6,543,800,000, the approval of the authorities is not required. If the house purchased by foreigners exceeds NZD 6,543,800+million, or it is located in sensitive areas, such as agricultural land with an area of more than 5 hectares, it must be approved by the Overseas Investment Bureau.

Fourth, Indonesia.

Foreigners can buy land with limited title deeds, but the buildings on the lot can belong to permanent title deeds. Non-Indonesian residents or foreigners who have not contributed to national construction cannot buy a house in Indonesia. However, permanent or temporary residents in Indonesia can buy the right to use a house for 25 years, and then they can renew it twice, 20 years and 25 years respectively.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) Britain, England

Different regions and different types of real estate have different standards for property tax collection. * * * There are eight grades, the highest in London, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of pounds a year. All assets of British residents in the world need to pay inheritance tax, while non-British people only need to pay asset inheritance tax in the UK, with a threshold of 325,000 pounds and a tax rate of 40%.

6. Singapore

Real estate is not included in the immigration conditions, but only as personal assets. Foreigners who want to buy a house in Singapore can apply for a loan with a maximum repayment period of 35 years. The mortgage interest rate in Singapore is relatively low, and it has remained between 2% and 3% for a long time. However, you can't buy a house with land except a villa on Sentosa Island.

Seven. Thailand

Foreigners can buy no more than 49% apartment units in a permanent title deed project, and once they cross it, they will be converted into limited title deeds. Generally speaking, the limited title deed is only valid for 30 years.

The above are the purchasing policies of different countries compiled by Bian Xiao. I hope it will help you.
