According to the Huashang Daily, the 69 square meter apartment of a new development in Xi'an has a shared area of 37 square meters, with a shared area rate of over 50%.

A spacious corridor

Owners cry out for injustice:

I spent over 500000 yuan to buy most of it from a public stall

On the morning of July 12th, at the entrance of Rong'an Furong Yinyue Community located on Dongyi Road in Xi'an City, Ms. Ji told reporters that she purchased a commercial apartment in Building 1 of the community in 2020, but due to the epidemic, it was postponed to March this year. However, she has not received the apartment yet, so she can't figure out why the shared area is so high.

According to the purchase contract provided by Ms. Ji, the seller is Xi'an Kanghan Real Estate Co., Ltd. The real estate surveying and mapping agency of the commercial housing is Xi'an Real Estate Surveying Office Co., Ltd. The estimated construction area is 69.75 square meters, of which the internal construction area is 32.71 square meters, and the shared construction area is 37.04 square meters.

"I asked the salesperson at the time, and he said that the shared area was clearly stated in the purchase contract." Ms. Ji said that she only received the contract last year and had not paid attention to it before, let alone spending more than 500000 yuan to buy more than half of the shared area. Ms. Ji also said that in her impression, the public sharing rate of the real estate project is only over 10%, which is only over 20% high. However, she didn't expect it to be over 50% here, which is astonishing.

The reporter accompanied Ms. Ji into Building 1, and there was an advertisement in the staircase that read "The current houses in the south of the city are being liquidated and sold well". Multiple households in the building were undergoing renovation, and the corridor was relatively spacious. "I can drive in this corridor, but I don't want to buy such a wide corridor either," Ms. Ji said. Coincidentally, I encountered two real estate agents who followed me into two houses of over 50 square meters, which appeared to have an interior area of about 20 square meters. "This building does have a high public sharing rate, I heard it's 53%," said the agent.

Sales Department:

The lobby and hallway are spacious and imposing, and there are no restrictions on shared apartments

The reporter and Ms. Ji arrived at the sales department, where a customer was inquiring about purchasing a house. Ms. Ji raised the issue of large public stalls, and the staff explained that the reason for the large public stalls is due to the high quality and grandeur of the apartment, with a large entrance hall and wide corridors, shared bathrooms and sinks on each floor, four elevators for more than ten households on the first floor, and duplex apartments, which provide a higher level of comfort for everyone to live in.

The reporter contacted Ms. Ji's real estate consultant at the time, who explained that the public sharing rate in commercial buildings was relatively high. When Ms. Ji purchased a house, she had carefully explained the related issues of public sharing. The public sharing rate of the apartment did indeed reach 50%, but the unit price was low and the comfort level was high. Moreover, the country did not have specific regulations on the proportion of public sharing area in apartment buildings, and some properties in Xi'an had a public sharing rate of 60%. "Our large property has complete five certificates, and the planning has been approved by government departments. There is no problem with public sharing, which complies with national regulations." He said that there is currently no explicit limit on the area of apartment public sharing.

Is there a specific regulation on the proportion of shared area in commercial apartments? Ms. Ji said that she had consulted with the Housing and Construction Bureau of Yanta District, but did not receive a clear answer.

According to the Management Regulations on Publicity of Sales Information of Commercial Housing in Xi'an City, real estate development enterprises and real estate brokerage institutions conducting sales activities of commercial housing shall disclose the following housing sales information: the property surveying and mapping results report issued by the surveying and mapping institution.

On the afternoon of July 12th, regarding the issue of the regulation of shared area, the reporter called to consult with the Xi'an Housing and Urban Rural Development Bureau. The on duty personnel stated that they belong to the Xi'an Natural Resources and Planning Bureau; The reporter also called the Xi'an Natural Resources and Planning Bureau, and the person in charge stated that the issue belongs to the Housing and Urban Rural Development Bureau.

Response from the Housing and Urban Rural Development Bureau

"Women buy 69 square meters of apartments, but the public stall reaches 37 square meters":

There is currently no explicit regulation on the proportion of shared area

On the afternoon of the 13th, a journalist from Jimu News also consulted a staff member of the sales department, who confirmed the above statement and stated that the property is currently being liquidated and sold well, with prices slightly lower than before and even offering free parking spaces.

An industry insider said in an interview that it is understood that the general sharing rate of commercial apartments in Xi'an is between 40% and 45%. Because apartments have luxurious halls, long corridors, stairs, and three or four elevators, the sharing rate of apartments is very high, usually above 40%, but situations exceeding 50% are also relatively rare.

A staff member of the Housing and Urban Rural Development Bureau in Yanta District, Xi'an, told Jimu News reporters that a woman had indeed consulted about the issue of the shared area of the building before. The relevant responsible colleagues have explained that there is currently no explicit regulation on the proportion of shared area.
