Continuing the 8th session of the 15th National Assembly, on the morning of October 28, the National Assembly's Supervisory Delegation reported a summary of the results of "Implementation of policies and laws on real estate market management and social housing development from 2015 to the end of 2023".
The monitoring delegation pointed out that there are still contradictions and inconsistencies between plans; urban planning and land use planning have been adjusted appropriately but still lack interaction, connection, and synchronization with other types of sectoral and field planning.
In some localities, planning review work is slow and incomplete, planning adjustments are not timely or arbitrary.
The above limitations cause difficulties for management as well as affect the process of appraisal, acceptance, approval, adjustment of investment policies, and investment decisions of real estate projects.
According to the monitoring team, access to land is still difficult. Many localities are still confused about organizing bidding for projects using land, calculating the floor price to be paid to the state budget (m3) according to the provisions of the law on bidding, and determining the time of land allocation to determine land prices.
Land use rights auctions have shown signs of irregularity, creating high land prices; the auction process is still complicated. The transfer of land use rights and the change of land use purpose to implement commercial housing projects are facing difficulties due to changes in legal regulations.
Localities are still confused about the allocation and lease of land originating from the equitization of state-owned enterprises and forestry farms; the arrangement of real estate facilities of state agencies; the implementation of the build-transfer form (BT projects); and the use of land funds for payment according to signed BT contracts.
The slow land valuation situation occurring in many localities is the main obstacle leading to the stagnation of many real estate projects. The issuance of certificates of land use rights, house ownership rights and assets attached to land is still stuck, especially for new real estate products.
Regarding some solutions, the Supervisory Delegation recommended regulatory measures to diversify products for the real estate market, harmonize supply and demand, increase real estate supply suitable for the income of the majority of people, meet housing needs, and ensure social security.
There must be fundamental and sustainable measures to bring real estate prices back to their intrinsic value, preventing manipulation and the use of land use rights auctions to create price "fever".
Quickly complete research, propose amendments, supplements, and promulgate new tax laws; have regulations on higher tax rates for those who are slow to use land or leave land fallow.
Implement the principle that any problem that falls under the authority of a given level must be resolved by that level; overcome the situation where ministries and branches provide general guidance and answers that lack specificity.
In cases where there are different interpretations of the law, it is necessary to recommend that competent authorities fully and correctly implement the principles, order, and procedures for interpreting the law as prescribed.
Deal with the situation of avoidance, shirking, and fear of responsibility in handling work at agencies and units, do not let time be prolonged or work be left behind.
Tighten discipline, promote responsibility of leaders, strengthen inspection and examination; resolutely and strictly handle acts of corruption, negativity, group interests, and localism in the enforcement of laws on real estate market management and social housing development. Have strong enough sanctions for violations of the law.
