Does Changsha need social security to buy a house and settle down?

The latest policy of Changsha housing qualification in 2023 is that non-local registered talents can buy houses locally after paying social security or individual taxes.

The detailed rules for the implementation of housing purchase in a province with strong talents issued by Changsha Housing and Construction Bureau and the Talent Office of the Municipal Party Committee are clear. Talents under the age of 45 (inclusive) with college education or intermediate and above professional and technical qualifications can purchase the first set of commercial housing in the restricted purchase area after they settle in Changsha and pay social security or individual tax. At the same time, for high-level talents in cities and States in the province, after being identified according to procedures, they will enjoy the same treatment of purchasing houses as Changsha household registration.

Hunan issued "Several Opinions on Implementing the Strategy of Strengthening the Province to Support the High-quality Development of Changsha City", which clearly stated that "the restrictions on the settlement of talents should be relaxed, and those with college education or above who are employed in Changsha can immediately declare their settlement." Talents under the age of 45 (inclusive) with college education (doctor or master is not limited to age) or intermediate or above professional and technical qualifications can directly settle down with graduation certificates or professional and technical qualification certificates.

Key points of implementation rules

According to the detailed rules for the implementation of housing purchase in a strong province with talents, the housing purchase policy for talents in a strong province will implement the requirements of ensuring demand by supply, promoting supply by demand, linkage between supply and demand, and institutional balance, support the demand for first-time suites and improved reasonable housing, and prevent speculation.

In terms of recognition criteria, talents under the age of 45 (inclusive) with college education or above (doctors and masters are not limited to age) or intermediate professional and technical qualifications (senior professional and technical qualifications are not limited to age) can settle online through the "talent introduction" channel, that is, on the "My Changsha" APP, pay social security or individual tax after settlement, and purchase the first set of housing in the restricted area of Changsha.
