Will degree housing be canceled in the future?

The growing demand for degree housing does not match the fixed educational resources, gradually giving rise to conflicts between owners and developers. With the cancellation of degree housing in Nancheng, Liaobu and other areas, disputes over degree housing have also reached a fever pitch.

April every year is the deadline for degree application in Dongguan. As the deadline gets closer, parents of school-age children begin to rush to prepare materials for their children to apply for a degree. However, the number of places in public schools is limited, and many families may not meet the requirements for points admission. Therefore, many people prefer to use degree housing to solve their children's degree problems. However, the growing demand for degree housing does not match the fixed educational resources, which has gradually given rise to conflicts between owners and developers. With the cancellation of degree housing in Nancheng, Liaobu and other areas, disputes over degree housing have also reached a fever pitch.

There are different opinions in the industry regarding degree housing. Some people think that there are too many tricks and unspoken rules behind degree housing, and coupled with the shortage of educational resources, the abolition of degree housing in Dongguan will become a future trend; some people think that scarcity is more valuable, and it is precisely because of the shortage of educational resources that there is a separate degree real estate will become a scarce resource and have greater market appeal.

You have to draw lots to attend the prestigious schools you agreed to attend

A few days ago, a real estate owner in Guancheng was unable to attend a well-known elementary school in Guancheng because of his daughter. There is a slogan "Protect your rights and do not violate the law and refuse to draw lots".

The owner, Ms. Chen, said: "I bought this building with hundreds of thousands of yuan, mainly to solve the problem of children's education. At the beginning, the developer promised to buy the project and the children could study in a well-known school in Guancheng Primary school. Now the developer cannot guarantee that all the students in the real estate will obtain the same prestigious school place. They can only decide whether their children can attend a certain primary school through lottery, which is unfair to the children who cannot get the lottery. ”

< p>In this regard, the owner Mr. Ye said: "When we bought the house, we were chasing a degree from a well-known elementary school, and we also paid a huge financial price to buy the house."

In response to this situation, the reporter interviewed the owner of the property The relevant person in charge said: "At the beginning, when the marketers were selling the project, they promised that the children of the owners could attend Guancheng's elementary school. Not all owners could attend this well-known elementary school. As for why this problem was solved by lottery , this is because there are 78 school-age children in the community, and the project only has 30 places for a well-known primary school in Guancheng. This solution is also based on fairness and openness. "

Currently, Dongguan City has real supporting degree places. There are not many index real estates anymore. Even if parents can afford degree housing, they are unable to enjoy degree resources due to issues such as quotas and household registration. At this time, degree housing is just a concept. The sales staff will not promote the degree concept when selling properties, but will "hint" parents who are in urgent need of a degree and inform them that there are many well-known schools around the property.

“Parents are so eager to get a degree that they have to spend a lot of money to buy a conceptual degree.” said an industry insider.

Li, a senior real estate lawyer in Dongguan, explained about degree housing: "A degree is a rigid demand and is something that many owners urgently need. Developers will use degrees to promote property sales. If the degree is not easy to achieve, there may be consequences. It is not a dispute, but it is not a contract fraud. This is because the developer will not write the promise of a degree in the contract, and will not promise to check out without a degree.”

It is reported that the property will provide a degree. There are two situations. One is that the Education Bureau provides the relevant public school degrees to the real estate under certain conditions, so that the home owners have the right to degree; the other is that some large developers open private schools themselves or cooperate with them to solve the needs of the owners for degree housing. . However, some private degrees, such as Chaotian Primary School and Nankai Primary School, are very popular, and their educational resources are also relatively tight. "For private schools built by developers, they are now recruiting students from all over the city, and preferential policies will be given to owners. However, as more and more projects are developed by large developers, they may not be able to meet the needs of all owners." Chen Junliang said.

Degree housing reflects the mismatch of educational resources

Currently, the price of degree housing in Dongguan is not as high as that in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. It is often the case of “high-priced degrees”, but those with “degree” as their selling point Compared with real estate in the same area, the price of degree housing has increased slightly, and owners are willing to pay high costs to obtain a degree.

The reporter learned that some developers paid a certain amount of education matching funds to the government, corresponding to the degree indicators.

After all, degrees are limited, and the school’s educational resources cannot keep up with the progress of project development and sales in urban areas. Demand exceeds supply. Developers may not be able to guarantee that every owner has a degree indicator. There are many variables in the matter of degrees.

When supply cannot meet demand, disputes are likely to arise. In recent years, conflicts between developers and property owners have increased due to the shortage of academic resources. In 2013, Liaobu and Nancheng successively suspended degree housing.

Are Nancheng and Liaobu facing a shortage of degree resources? Let’s take Nancheng as an example to calculate an account. According to data provided by Hefuhuihuang Dongguan Market Research Department, in 2013, 6,673 residential units were sold in Nancheng. . If calculated based on 3 people per household, 20,000 people will move in. Calculated based on the city's annual birth rate of 10%, 2,000 people are born every year. According to current national regulations, if the class capacity is ≤50 people, an 8-track school needs to be built. system school. If the nearby primary schools and middle schools related to the project are at full capacity and unable to expand enrollment, then the children of 7,143 households will face the situation of being unable to go to school. With such a large population, if there are not enough educational facilities, the reading problem of primary and secondary school students in Nancheng District will be even more prominent.

As for the shortage of degrees, Chen Junliang believes that places in central urban areas such as Guancheng, Dongcheng and Nancheng are relatively tight, while places in remote towns are still sufficient. Nancheng is the central area of ??the city, and the demand for degrees is relatively high. There are many real estate projects in Liaobu, and the competition is relatively high, so the demand for degrees is relatively strong. "For areas with tight academic degree resources, the government cannot provide enough academic degrees to property owners. The government would rather return the education supporting funds to developers." Chen Junliang said.

It has been two full years, and there has been no “degree housing” as a marketing selling point. Will the sales of the projects in Nancheng and Liaobu be affected? During the visit, the reporter learned that the “house purchase” that was listed on the project back then The red slogan "Free Degree" "disappeared", replaced by basic information about the real estate and special offers. The marketers at the sales site have also become cautious about degree matters that citizens inquire about, and explain the new degree policy to them.

Subsequently, the reporter interviewed the relevant person in charge of a brand developer in Nancheng over the phone about his views on degree housing. He said: "The cancellation of degree housing has little impact on the sales of real estate. People have gradually accepted Nancheng psychologically." Cancel the policy of degree housing. Now, no one talks about degree housing.”

A developer in Liaobu also said that degree housing is only a selling point in the sales process, and those who should buy a house will still buy it. The gradual elimination of degree housing will have little impact on the marketing of the project. "

Li Xingwang, manager of the market research department of Hefu Huihuang, said that the cancellation of degree housing will have little impact on the sales of the project. Those who should buy a house will still buy a house. Degree housing is just the icing on the cake.

In addition, he believes that the gradual abolition of degree housing in Dongguan will become a future trend. The problem of degree housing has caused many social problems. For example, the shortage of degree housing has led to many disputes and conflicts between owners and developers, and developers have promised to provide owners with degree accommodation. Leading to unfairness, etc.

According to statistics, there were 6,673 residential units sold in Nancheng in 2014, and 5,365 residential units were sold in Nancheng, a year-on-year decrease of 19%. In 2013, 3,179 residential units were sold in Liaobu. There were 2,359 residential units sold in Liaobu, a year-on-year decrease of 35%.
