According to the Quang Ninh Provincial Department of Construction, in the past time, the Department of Construction has received a number of opinions, recommendations, and reflections from people about the selling price of social housing at some social housing projects in the province being still high compared to the financial capacity of a part of workers, workers, low-income people and subjects entitled to social housing support policies.
To reduce the selling price of social housing in Quang Ninh province, the Department of Construction requests social housing project investors in the province to pay attention to implementing a number of contents.
Accordingly, in the process of preparing, reviewing and completing the social housing selling price plan, it is necessary to properly implement the principle of determining the selling price of social housing; ensuring accuracy, sufficientness, and compliance with the provisions of law.
Along with that, proactively review and reduce the costs constituting the selling price; consider sharing appropriate standard profit levels, contributing to reducing selling prices; review the selling price plan before organizing the sale of social housing; strengthen publicity and transparency of information about selling prices.
In addition, the Department of Construction of Quang Ninh province proposed that, in the process of project implementation, it is necessary to determine the objectives of social housing projects not only to ensure investment efficiency but also to be associated with social security goals, creating conditions for workers, workers, low-income people and policy beneficiaries to have access to, buy and use housing.
Encourage social housing project investors to apply model designs, typical construction designs, diversify social housing apartment types with suitable areas (from 25 m2 to 70 m2), in order to meet the needs of social housing buyers. Prioritize the application of science, technology, and new materials in construction deployment to improve quality, accelerate progress, reduce the selling price of social housing and ensure payment capacity, in accordance with the selling price of social housing.
Over the past time, a series of social housing projects in the former Ha Long City area have been announced for sale, but many projects have selling prices from over 23.6 million VND/m2 to over 24 million VND/m2.
The above price is quite high compared to the income of people eligible for consideration to buy social housing.
The selling price of social housing with the lowest level in the former Ha Long City area to date is at the first social housing area of Quang Ninh - the Social Housing Area Project in the Bank Hill Residential Area - which is 16,228,000 VND/m2 (including VAT and apartment building maintenance costs).
To have the above price, according to calculations, each apartment is entitled to preferential treatment and support of about 500 million VND from land use fees, thereby aiming to reduce selling prices for workers.
