Wuhan Municipal Housing and Urban Renewal Bureau and other departments issued a
notice to further optimise local property policy, removing the city’s previous
restriction that provident-fund withdrawals for repaying commercial mortgages on
first-owner self-occupied homes be allowed only once every 12 months. Borrowers
using only a personal housing commercial loan may apply after six months of
normal repayments and then withdraw monthly, with cumulative withdrawals capped
at the commercial loan amount.
