Chongqing’s Housing and Urban-Rural Development Commission and partner agencies issued implementation opinions addressing six areas including tighter commodity-housing presale management, orderly rollout of completed-home sales, greater financing and supporting measures, streamlined project approvals and stronger market supervision. The document mandates a deposit regime for completed-home sales: for projects selling completed units, developers must, after obtaining a construction permit and finalizing a completed-home subscription plan, sign a purchase deposit contract with buyers via the Yuyue Anju platform and may collect a deposit of no more than 5% of the total price. Contracts must state the deposit amount, unit price, delivery date and liabilities for failure to perform on schedule. If a developer fails to deliver on time, buyers may rescind the deposit contract; the developer must return the deposit and bear breach liability.
