recently, “zero public area” has begun to take root in major cities, and the topic of “canceling public area” has become hot again.

in early september, xiangtan, hunan province issued a new policy allowing real estate developers to conduct sales promotion based on the floor area of ​​housing units.

this is not the first city in my country to implement such a policy. in may this year, zhaoqing issued relevant regulations, clearly stating that commercial housing will be priced and sold based on the floor area from may 1, and that the public supporting facilities in the planning conditions of new communities will not be included in the plot ratio. as early as july last year, hefei proposed to actively explore the pricing of commercial housing sales based on the floor area to avoid an excessively large proportion of public areas.

in addition, some cities have made some changes to the apartment types. for example, guangzhou has increased the proportion of the semi-gross floor area of ​​balconies from "no more than 15%" to 20%, and the size of bay windows has been expanded to 0.8 meters. after the adjustment of the apartment type specifications, the 100% utilization rate of new houses in guangzhou has become the "standard" this year. a while ago, shenzhen also updated the "shenzhen building design rules", reducing the area included in the common area and adjusting the size of the architectural design of balconies and bay windows.

at present, the vast majority of commercial housing transactions are still priced based on the building area (floor area + common area), so "canceling the common area" has become a hotly debated topic.

the common area covers public facilities such as elevator shafts and stairwells. in the view of some industry insiders, pricing based on the floor area is completely different from the cancellation of the common area as everyone knows. using the building area or the floor area as the basis for pricing is just two different calculation methods, and the cost of buying a house will not change much. moreover, pricing based on the floor area does not mean canceling the common area, but reducing the common area of ​​new houses and increasing the housing rate. the new pricing method not only guarantees the right of buyers to know, but also improves the transparency of the house area, truly realizing "what you see is what you get".
