Since 2013, the mainland has started a shantytown reform policy. The monetization and resettlement of shantytowns has enabled many of the demolished households to realize their dream of "getting rich overnight". In 2020, the mainland announced the start of the old renovation project, which means that the previous shed reform will be completely withdrawn from the historical stage.
The so-called old renovation is to repair and transform the old and small renovation of the house that is more than 20 years old on the basis of not demolishing and rebuilding. In addition to painting the interior and exterior walls, there is also the replacement of old pipes, the installation of elevators, and the reinforcement of staircase aisles. In addition, there is also the increase of community greening, parking spaces, etc. In short, after the old renovation, the old houses have taken on a new look, and the living environment of the residents has been significantly improved.
Although the mainland has now fully implemented the old reform, it does not mean that all old houses will be renovated, and some old houses will still be demolished. Previously, an official of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development said that under the old reform and new regulations, 20% of the old houses will still be completely demolished. As a result, many people have raised the question of whether the prefabricated houses built in the 70s and 80s of the last century will be demolished?
The so-called prefabricated panel house is that the manufacturer pours cement into the pre-made building construction mold, and after it is dried, it is transported to the construction site for splicing and installation. The advantage of prefabricated houses is that the cost of building houses is low, and the speed of building houses is fast, which can quickly meet the living needs of people at that time.
However, there are obvious defects in the prefabricated board house, mainly: 1. Poor heat insulation and sound insulation effect; 2. Poor waterproof performance, if the water pipe bursts above, the room below will be "flooded"; 3. The design life of the prefabricated board house is only 30-50 years, which is far lower than the 70-year design life of the current commercial housing.
In fact, for the future outcome of prefabricated houses, in 2023, our country has issued new regulations: prohibiting the construction, reconstruction, and expansion of prefabricated houses and other buildings that do not meet the specifications within the scope of urban construction land. Moreover, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development has also repeatedly proposed that we should strive to let the people live in good houses. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the prefabricated buildings are completely demolished.
However, it is not realistic to demolish all the prefabricated buildings at once. Because, this involves a sequential process, and it also needs to meet certain conditions before it can be demolished. For prefabricated houses, there are mainly the following situations:
First, the structure is intact and can continue to be inhabited. According to the appraisal of the authoritative organization, the main structure of the prefabricated house has not been damaged, and it can be repaired and renovated through the old renovation project, and it can continue to live in it. Then, this kind of prefabricated house will enter the process of the old renovation project and will not be completely demolished.
Second, the main structure is damaged, which meets the standards of dilapidated houses. Some prefabricated houses have fallen into disrepair for a long time, and the main structure has been damaged, and it cannot be repaired even through old renovation. If it is identified by an authoritative organization as a dilapidated house, it is likely to be demolished.
It is worth mentioning that if the prefabricated house cannot withstand natural disasters after being identified by an authoritative organization, such a house will also be demolished. Although the main structure of some prefabricated houses is not damaged, they cannot withstand the impact of natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods. In order to protect the safety of residents' lives and property, prefabricated houses like this one are also to be demolished.
Now the question is, since a large number of prefabricated houses will be demolished, how to properly resettle these residents?
One is that the original is demolished and returned. That is, the residents of the prefabricated houses first move out of the old house and rent a house outside for more than 2 years. At that time, the local government will give you a rental subsidy. The local government demolished the prefabricated houses and built new ones on the site. After the new house is built, the residents are asked to move back according to the original size of the house. If residents feel that the original housing area is still too small, they can pay the government to buy a larger house.
The other is physical placement. Generally, there are three ways of in-kind resettlement: 1. Monetary compensation, 2. Moving into a resettlement house, and 3. Resettlement with a house ticket. The so-called monetary compensation means that the relocated residents take a sum of money for the demolition and go to the neighborhood to buy a house.
The resettlement of housing tickets means that the relocated residents get the housing tickets issued by the local government, and then buy commercial houses from nearby developers. Both of these resettlement methods can help developers destock. Finally, there are also residents who have been relocated and moved directly to resettlement houses provided by the local government. The biggest advantage of in-kind resettlement is that the demolition residents will not have a transition period like the original demolition, and can directly purchase or move into new houses, which can save a lot of trouble.
