The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the "Notice on Standardizing the Order of the Real Estate Market and Further Strengthening the Regulation of the Real Estate Market", clearly stipulating that houses over 40 years (including 40 years) shall not be sold. This means that any house over 40 years old cannot be put on the market for sale. In addition, for existing houses more than 40 years old, property service enterprises should be urged to strengthen maintenance and management to ensure that the safety, hygiene and environment of the houses meet the requirements. The notice also stipulated strict pre-sale licensing conditions, requiring development enterprises to obtain "records of sale" before pre-sale. In addition, after obtaining the pre-sale permit, the development enterprise must start selling within six months, otherwise the permit will be cancelled. The promulgation of this regulation aims at strengthening the regulation of the real estate market, improving the quality of housing and ensuring the safety of people's livelihood. For property buyers, it is necessary to avoid risks, especially when buying second-hand houses, and pay attention to whether the age of the houses exceeds 40 years, so as to avoid subsequent problems.

Does the 40-year-old rule apply to all cities? How to check the specific age of the house? This provision applies to the whole country. Different cities may have special policies, but this rule generally applies to houses that cannot be sold for more than 40 years (including 40 years). The Property Law stipulates that the purchaser can check the building age on the house property certificate to determine the specific age of the house.

The notice issued by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development stipulates that houses over 40 years old should not be sold, and the existing houses over 40 years old should be strengthened in maintenance and management. In addition, strict pre-sale permit conditions also help to strengthen market supervision and improve housing quality. For property buyers, it is necessary to avoid risks, check the age of the building on the property certificate, and avoid the safety and quality problems of the house.
