Week 31/2024 – Central Vietnam Real Estate News Summary

1. 
   

   1. From August 1: Real Estate Brokers Must Have A Practicing Certificate 
   

2.  

1. The 2023 Real Estate Business Law mandates that organizations and individuals involved in real estate business must establish enterprises or cooperatives according to the law. Article 61 requires individuals practicing real estate brokerage to have a practicing certificate and to work within a real estate trading floor service enterprise or a brokerage service enterprise, thus eliminating freelance real estate brokerage.

2.  

   Mini apartments, defined as housing with two or more floors and designed for sale, lease, or a combination thereof, will now be issued pink books (certificates of land use rights and ownership of houses). This applies to buildings with at least 20 apartments intended for rent.

3.  

   The law also removes the time limit on apartment ownership, focusing instead on the term of use of the apartment building. When a building’s lifespan ends and it must be demolished due to safety concerns, the value of the house itself ceases, but the residential land use rights remain stable, and owners will receive compensation. This change aims to provide long-term stability and security for property owners.

2. The Set Of 3 Real Estate Laws Officially Takes Effect From Today.

Da Nang’s real estate market is set to thrive due to the establishment of a free trade zone linked to Liên Chiểu port, as approved by the National Assembly. This move, along with pilot policies on investment management, urban planning, and attracting investors in high-tech industries like semiconductor development and AI, positions Đà Nẵng as a rising economic hub. The city’s natural scenery, living environment, and transportation infrastructure, combined with the new trade zone, are expected to draw more tourists and professionals, boosting real estate demand, particularly around Liên Chiểu port. Experts predict a positive shift in new apartment supply in the second quarter of 2024.
