Houses without a certificate and fire safety are still being advertised for sale at high prices

Fire prevention and fighting is still advertised for sale at high prices without meeting safety conditions

Although it has been handed over to residents for 10 years, this building has not yet been PCCC-approved and does not have an apartment ownership certificate.

On May 22, an apartment on the 15th floor of the building caught fire "in a closed state" because the fire alarm system was not working, with many dangers lurking, however, on the buying and selling sites, the apartments here are still being advertised for sale at quite high prices.

"Selling houses in the core center of Ha Dong district, opposite Ha Dong District Party Committee, convenient traffic connection. Near the school, market, supermarket, elevated train station, bus station for public transport is extremely convenient. The 2-bedroom apartment, area of 96 square meters, has a peak price of 4 billion", Ms. Lien introduced herself as the owner of the apartment for sale.

With a price of about 40 - 45 million VND/m2, many times higher than the starting price (18.3 million VND/m2 in 2015), lacking safety and legal conditions, however, when selling a house, most of this information is not mentioned by sellers and brokers.

As one of the first residents to buy an apartment in this project, Mr. Thanh (character's name has been changed) said that he had no idea that the house had not met fire protection conditions and had not been granted a pink book when being advised to buy a house, so he had been "stuck" here for many years.

"When buying, brokers and investors did not advise us about the house not ensuring enough fire safety and legal factors. Up to now, after moving for nearly 10 years, we still do not have a pink book," said a resident at the Royal SME apartment building.

Mini apartments, apartments with unsafe fire prevention and fighting are still being advertised for sale

In the mini apartment buying and selling group, many mini apartments without a certificate and lack fire safety are still being advertised for sale every day.

Introducing himself as a person who wants to buy a mini apartment with a budget of less than 1 billion, the reporter (PV) arranged to meet Nam - a broker in the Nam Tu Liem area. Leading us to an apartment deep in an alley in Cau Dien, with a narrow entrance and no fire alarm system, Nam said that this apartment is being asked to buy by many people because the price is reasonable and it is located in a convenient location.

"This house is 25m2 wide on the certificate but in reality, it must be more than 30m2, suitable for single people or newcomers with families like the younger siblings. Currently, the selling price is only 750 million VND. If you buy, I will sell it in the form of a notarized document, in general, just be assured, the whole building you live in here is not your own," the broker Nam advised.

Continuing to lead the reporter to see another mini apartment that had just been opened for sale for a while deep in the alley in Me Tri area (Nam Tu Liem, Hanoi), broker Nam said:

" phactas here are also being bought and sold by making a certificate, there are many buyers so you don't have to worry about anything. This area is very close to the center, convenient for transportation, the alley is a bit small but there are fire extinguishers on every floor.

The selling price for fully decorated apartments is about 40 million VND/m2, apartments here range from 43 to more than 50m2. Depending on the location, the highest apartment is nearly 1.8 billion VND, smaller apartments are from more than 1.2 billion VND or more," Nam informed.
