I. Housing construction and distribution system

At the beginning of the 20th century, about 90% of British people lived by renting houses. In 1980s, Britain reformed its housing system and sold state-owned houses to tenants. Some semi-official organizations, namely housing cooperatives, also raise funds to build houses and sell or rent them to low-and middle-income families. Some British people with better economic conditions bought houses directly from private developers, but the proportion was not high, accounting for about 5%. From 1980 to now, local governments in various parts of Britain have sold1500,000 houses to individuals, and 70% of the British own their own houses, including 70% in England, 73% in Wales, 64% in Scotland and 75% in Northern Ireland. A survey shows that 90% of British people want to own a house with property rights. The government sells public houses to individuals at a price lower than the market price, which gives many concessions to tenants and promotes the reform of the housing system. For example, when the government sells a house in London to an individual, the price is 169975, and when the buyer sells it again, the price can reach 207,246, with a difference of 40,000. China's housing system reform from the 1990s drew lessons from the British model.

Second, the types of property management

The type of houses in Britain determines the type of property management. Generally speaking, the management mode of non-residential commercial buildings is similar to that of China, and the focus of management is also the management of houses and equipment, including the daily operation, maintenance and transformation of equipment. The content and standard of property management services are stipulated in the property management entrustment contract, and the management fee is mainly based on commission system.

Residential property management is very different and simpler than ours, because most people live in detached villas or townhouses, and the roads, green spaces, various municipal pipelines and facilities between villas are maintained and managed by government departments. Owners have to pay property tax every year, a villa (building area of 200m? The annual property tax is about 1600, which is equivalent to 4.4% of the salary of ordinary employees (the annual salary is 36,000), which is completely affordable. The maintenance and management of the owner's house itself is the responsibility of the property management company selected by the owner. Of course, owners can also do some sporadic maintenance work by themselves, because in Britain, the labor cost of sporadic maintenance of water and electricity is very expensive, basically 50 pounds per half hour. Because the houses are not connected with each other, the maintenance and management services are very simple, and the relationship between communities is also very simple, and there are few neighborhood disputes and the handling of the same affairs.

In addition to villas, a small number of people live in high-rise buildings, but these communities are relatively small, unlike our large communities, which are generally a building as a property management area. Such buildings are generally built by private developers, and property management is also divided into early property management and normal property management. In the early stage of property management, the property management company was also selected by the developer. When a developer sells a house, he will make a convention, which will clearly stipulate the name of the property company, the content, standards and service charges of the property service, including the rights and obligations of the construction unit, the property management enterprise and the owner, and the buyers should recognize it. After the owners live, they can set up an owners' committee. If the owners' committee is not satisfied with the property management company selected by the developer, it can dismiss and choose a satisfactory property company.

Community property fees generally adopt the contract gratuity system, and a fixed amount is set every year, including the cost of cleaning, security, house maintenance and other services, as well as the contract gratuity of the property company. Of course, the accounts need to be made public to the owners, and the owners can go to the tax department to inquire about the accounts of the property company anytime and anywhere. For small-scale real estate, the owners may not choose the company, but directly choose the housing manager to manage the housing affairs, which will save some expenses for the owners.

3. Royal Association of Chartered Character Managers

In Britain, the government has no special restrictions on enterprises and individuals engaged in property management, but there is a semi-official non-profit organization, namely the Chartered Housing Association (CIH), which is very authoritative in the property management industry and is responsible for the training and exchange of property management practitioners. The organization is not influenced by political factions, and its purpose is to improve the scientific and artistic nature of housing management. Founded in the middle of19th century, this association is an organization that only accepts individual members. At present, there are more than 19000 members, most of whom are in Britain and more than 2000 in Hong Kong. The economic source of the society mainly depends on membership fees and fees charged for providing various training services. If there is profit, it belongs to all members of the organization. The management organization of the institute is the board of directors, and the directors are all prestigious people in the industry, ***3 1 person. Headquartered in Coventry, England, the Association consists of Professional Development Department, Joint Service Department, Policy Department, Training and Education Department, Corporate Affairs Department and Secretariat, with branches in Britain and Asia-Pacific region. Although joining a club is not mandatory, once you become a member, you will have more opportunities to be employed by property companies or owners. Therefore, if you are engaged in property management in Britain, you need to join a community. The community has a very high status in the industry and can negotiate with the government on relevant issues on behalf of the whole industry.
