When will the pool area be officially cancelled?

The pool area will not be cancelled next year. First of all, so far, the official level has never issued a document "canceling the pool area". Based on the stipulation in the Specification for Residential Projects issued by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development that "houses should be traded with interior construction area", many media analysts believe that the conclusion that "the state should completely cancel the pool area" is untenable. Because this new regulation has not been formally implemented, it is only a "draft for comments", so it cannot be used as the basis for national laws and regulations to cancel the pool area;

Secondly, in fact, on February 24, 2009, 2065438+,CCTV news client published an article entitled "The pool area was cancelled? The article "This is not simple" clearly gives the answer: it is a wrong interpretation to completely cancel the "pool area". The article points out that although it is a fact that the pool area is harmful to people, and it is also a fact that people are strongly disgusted with the pool area, physically speaking, it is unrealistic to completely cancel the pool area, because these "public spaces" such as the lobby, aisle and elevator shaft of a community need to be shared.

In fact, whenever people talk about canceling the pool area, there are always some people who stand up against it. In our opinion, there are only three types of people who oppose the cancellation of the pool area: developers, property companies and heating companies. Developers: usually, they object on the grounds that "the pool area will be cancelled and the house price will rise" and "the quality of the house will decrease".

However, smart people can actually see that these two reasons are not valid: on the one hand, the price increase brought about by compressing the pool area or pricing according to the interior construction area is only a numerical problem, which will not really increase the burden on buyers, but will reduce the financial pressure on buyers in the future; On the other hand, in the market economy, if a developer dares to take advantage of buyers by compressing the pool area, then the developer will be abandoned by buyers and the products he makes will not be sold;

Property management company: With the pool area, the property can charge several million more property fees every year. We should know that these so-called "property fees corresponding to the pool area" actually do not need to be paid by buyers, because the indoor part has already paid the fees, but they have not enjoyed the service of equal property rights;

Heating company: heating fees are also charged according to the building area (including the pool area), which is actually the most unscientific and inappropriate. There are obviously no heating pipes in aisles, garbage dumps, power distribution rooms, equipment rooms, public halls and partition walls. But the owner still has to pay, which is obviously bullying the owner. But in reality, everyone clearly knows that this regulation is unreasonable, but few people stand up against it. The fundamental reason is that they dare not pay-the consequence of not paying may be the termination of the supply.

However, even if developers, property companies and heating companies have 10,000 reasons against "canceling the pool area", it will not hinder the fact that the pool area will be completely cancelled in the future. To put it bluntly, even if the pool area is not cancelled next year, it may be completely cancelled five years later, 10 years later.

There are three reasons:

First, China is the only country in the world that still implements the pool area system;

Second, Xinhua, the central media, has long made it clear that "although the pool area has existed for a long time, it does not mean that this practice is reasonable." The implication is that it is the general trend to cancel the pool area;

Third, the widespread indignation and discontent in the pool area has attracted the attention of the national level. In the draft for comment, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development thinks that "the house should be traded with the usable area inside the house", which indicates that the national level is already considering introducing new regulations to correct this drawback.

Many people may not know that there is a precedent for us to cancel the pool area. As early as 2002, Chongqing passed the Regulations on the Management of Urban Real Estate Transactions in Chongqing, which clearly stipulated that the current sale and pre-sale of commercial housing should be based on the interior construction area, and the commercial housing sales contract and commercial housing ownership certificate should specify the parts and facilities used. Not only that, the regulations also clarify the consequences of developers' "inaction": they will be fined 5%- 10% of the transaction amount of commercial housing.
