Beijing municipal authorities issued implementation opinions on implementing the Notice on improving the commodity housing sales system, effective Aug. 28, 2026. From that date new projects should prioritize completed-property (现房) sales. Developers must prepare a completed-sales plan after initial property registration and file for completed-sales record with the district housing and urban‑rural development (housing management) department. Properties and related land‑use rights to be sold must be free of mortgages, seizures or other encumbrances. During completed‑property sales, developers may sign purchase deposit contracts after obtaining the construction permit; deposits are generally capped at no more than 1% of the total purchase price. If a developer breaches and fails to deliver on time, buyers may seek contract termination under the deposit contract terms.
