80 days and 10 places: Do not refuse provident fund loans! Violators will be severely punished.
Zhongxin Jingwei Client September 16 (Feng Fang) Recently, many places have successively issued new provident fund policies, stipulating that real estate development enterprises shall not restrict, obstruct or refuse buyers to use housing provident fund loans by raising housing sales prices and reducing price discounts. This is one of the illegal acts of real estate development enterprises that are mainly rectified by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and other seven departments.
On June 28th, seven departments, including the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, jointly issued the "Notice on Launching Special Actions in Some Cities to Combat Illegal Acts against the Interests of the Masses and Control the Chaos in the Real Estate Market", which focused on six kinds of illegal acts of real estate development enterprises, including restricting, obstructing and refusing buyers to use housing provident fund loans or mortgage loans.
1 province and 9 cities responded within 80 days.
According to the incomplete statistics of the Sino-Singapore Jingwei client (WeChat WeChat official account: jwview), since the announcement of the notice on June 28th, nine cities including Xinxiang, Foshan, Chengdu, Urumqi, Yichang, Beijing, Zhengzhou, Luoyang and Nanjing, as well as Hunan Province, have successively issued new provident fund policies, specifically to rectify the illegal behaviors of housing enterprises refusing to purchase houses with provident fund loans in disguise.
Hunan, Nanjing, Foshan and other places have issued corresponding plans or measures to crack down on the illegal acts of the above-mentioned housing enterprises. On September 12, the Interim Measures for the Administration of Serious Dishonest List of Real Estate Market Operators in Hunan Province was promulgated, which stipulated that if real estate enterprises restrict, obstruct or refuse to use housing provident fund loans or mortgage loans, they will be blacklisted by real estate authorities at or above the county level.
On August 15th, Yichang Housing Provident Fund Management Center held a special office meeting to arrange the deployment center to carry out the special rectification action of "restricting, refusing and obstructing the use of provident fund loans by buyers".
In addition, Beijing, Chengdu, Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Xinxiang, Urumqi and other cities have issued notices or announcements respectively, stipulating that housing companies and intermediaries shall not restrict, obstruct or refuse buyers to use housing provident fund loans by raising housing sales prices and reducing price discounts. Chengdu Housing Provident Fund Management Center said on August 13th that it will focus on rectifying the illegal behaviors of development enterprises that restrict, obstruct and refuse the use of provident fund loans by employees who purchase houses through on-site inspections, unannounced visits and key spot checks.
However, this is not the first time that the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and other relevant departments have mentioned safeguarding the rights and interests of provident fund housing loans.
On December 26th, 2017, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Finance, the Bank of China, and the Ministry of Land and Resources jointly issued the Notice on Safeguarding the Rights and Interests of Housing Provident Fund Deposited in Employees’ Housing Loans, demanding that real estate development enterprises and sales intermediaries that restrict, obstruct or refuse employees to use housing provident fund loans to purchase houses be ordered to rectify. If the violation is serious and refuses to be rectified, it should be publicly exposed and incorporated into the enterprise credit information system, and it should be dealt with seriously according to law.
Since then, various localities have issued documents to regulate the use of housing provident fund loans to purchase houses in commercial housing sales and safeguard the rights and interests of employees who have paid provident fund. According to the preliminary statistics of the Sino-Singapore Jingwei client (WeChat WeChat official account: jwview), Hainan, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Hangzhou, Xi ‘an, Taiyuan, Lanzhou, Suzhou, Foshan and other 20 leeways have publicly stated that they have ordered the housing enterprises and intermediary agencies that restrict, obstruct or refuse employees to use housing provident fund loans to purchase houses to rectify.
"Blackout", fine! Multi-measures to contain violations of housing enterprises
According to Xinhua News Agency on April 2, after the notice was issued in December last year, some developers in Shanghai, Guangdong, Fujian and other places still refused provident fund loans in disguise by setting the proportion of subscription funds, the payment period and refusing portfolio loans, which harmed the rights and interests of buyers.
Zhang Bo, chief analyst of Anjuke Real Estate Research Institute, said that the slow payment rate is the main reason why developers exclude buyers from using provident fund loans. The complicated process of provident fund loans and the long loan period lead to the decline of enterprise capital turnover rate, and the pursuit of high turnover housing enterprises will have resistance to provident fund loans.
Zhang Bo also said that it is often necessary to cooperate with banks in the development of housing enterprises. One of the conditions for many banks to agree to lend is to obtain a large number of high-quality mortgage customers, which is also a reason why developers refuse provident fund loans.
Yan Yuejin, director of the think tank research center of Shanghai Yiju Research Institute, believes that due to the tightening of commercial loans, the support for the withdrawal of provident fund can effectively protect renters, the reasonable need to buy a house and the improved demand, and the follow-up should also work hard to implement the policy link.
On August 17th, Beijing Housing Provident Fund Management Center stated in the Notice on Further Safeguarding the Rights and Interests of Housing Provident Fund Deposited into Employees’ Housing Loans that the refusal or disguised refusal of housing provident fund loans should be ordered to rectify; Those who refuse to rectify should be publicly exposed. All departments should share the exposure when they break their promises to illegal enterprises or individuals, so that one place is broken and illegal, and it is blocked everywhere.
On August 21st, Zhengzhou Municipal People’s Government issued the Notice on Investigating and Punishing Illegal Pre-sale of Commercial Houses according to Law, requiring real estate enterprises to post a written commitment not to refuse buyers to use housing provident fund loans in a prominent position in the sales department after obtaining the Pre-sale Permit of Commercial Houses. Illegal enterprises shall be publicly exposed by the municipal housing provident fund management center, investigated and dealt with by relevant departments according to law, and recorded in enterprise credit files.
Nanjing Housing Provident Fund Management Center issued the Measures for the Administration of Housing Provident Fund Mortgage Agreement in Nanjing on September 11th, requiring developers to sign the Nanjing Housing Provident Fund Loan Mortgage Agreement with Nanjing Housing Provident Fund Management Center. Those who refuse or obstruct the purchase of houses with provident fund loans shall be ordered to make rectification; If no rectification is made within the time limit, a fine of not less than 3,000 yuan but not more than 30,000 yuan may be imposed on the unit, and a fine of not less than 200 yuan but not more than 2,000 yuan may be imposed on the person in charge who is directly responsible.
Urumqi Housing Provident Fund Management Center published an article entitled "Urumqi Housing Provident Fund Management Center and other five departments jointly act to resolutely safeguard the rights and interests of paid employees’ housing loans" on August 15. According to the article, if there are any violations such as asking buyers to give up their housing provident fund loan rights or adding other restrictions and additional conditions, Or the housing enterprises that have not signed the housing provident fund mortgage loan agreement with Urumqi Housing Provident Fund Management Center within the specified time, and refuse to rectify, will be publicly exposed and taken disciplinary measures such as suspending online signing, suspending the pre-sale fund supervision account fund allocation, and incorporating it into the enterprise credit information system.
Zhang Bo believes that to solve the problem of housing enterprises refusing provident fund loans, it is necessary to "block" and "sparse". On the one hand, it is necessary to increase the penalties for developers to refuse provident fund loans, on the other hand, it is necessary to further lower the operating threshold of provident fund loans themselves, simplify the process of provident fund loans, and shorten the time for provident fund loans.
The notice issued in December last year pointed out that the housing provident fund management center and the entrusted banks should standardize the loan business process, reduce the examination and approval links and shorten the examination and approval time limit. Complete the examination and approval within 10 working days from the date of accepting the loan application. If the loan is granted, notify the entrusted bank to handle the loan procedures; If the loan is not granted, the reasons shall be explained. (Zhongxin Jingwei APP)
