Apartment owners, developers at odds over communal area loophole
Tran Khanh, chairman of the Hanoi Building Management Operating Club, said the law does not spell out which areas belong to owners and which are commonly owned, and this is causing disagreements between the owners and building managements. A 2010 decree states that the two areas must be delineated clearly in apartment sale contracts, but another decree in 2015 does not do so, he said. Developers take advantage of it and do not designate shared areas, while buyers usually only worry about their apartment and do not care about shared spaces until later, he said. Nguyen Manh Ha, deputy chairman of the Vietnam National Real Estate Association, said some developers make false claims to sell before taking ownership of shared areas. One of the main disputed areas is the parking lot. The Housing Law states that motorbike and bicycle parking spaces are shared areas, but car parking spots must be bought or rented by residents.

Construction ministry explains why $5.14bn credit package yet to be disbursed
The construction ministry has raised two reasons for the non-disbursement of the credit package of VND120 trillion (US$5.14 billion) launched by the government about two months ago for developing projects to build social houses and houses for workers, and upgrade deteriorated apartment buildings. In a recent report to the Prime Minister in relation to the credit package, the ministry said around 100 projects for building social houses and houses for workers have been licensed for construction but local authorities have yet to publicly announce lists of specific projects. Therefore, banks related to this package have not been able to provide loans sourced from this package to investors and buyers in such projects, the ministry said. The second reason that blocked the disbursement of the package is that most of these projects have yet to be ready for implementation as they remain in the completion stage for investment procedures. Earlier, at a recent conference on building one … [Read more...] about Construction ministry explains why $5.14bn credit package yet to be disbursed
