"The "Chinese-style mansion" bought in Pujiang, Jinhua for four or five million yuan, when it was delivered, the Hui-style door and wall displayed in the original model house were gone. Pavilions, rockeries and fish ponds are even more unthinkable, leaving only bare houses and agricultural land behind the front house, if the owner goes to build it himself, it is suspected of violating the law. Why is there such a big gap between the house we spent so much money on and the marketing campaign?"
It has been nearly a year and a half since the delivery of the house, and many owners have communicated with the developer and relevant government departments many times to no avail, and they have no choice but to find the "reporter gang" of Chao News and Qianjiang Evening News.
Why did the "big house" that was originally advertised become a "bare" house in the mouth of the owner? This reporter went to Zhengjiawu Town, Pujiang County, Jinhua City, to conduct an investigation.

I didn't expect there to be so many questions
On April 9, a Chao News reporter came to this health care project called "Spring Breeze Long Stay".
The project is located on a slope in Zhengjiawu Town, Pujiang County, and the houses are in the Chinese style with white walls and black tiles, with beautiful scenery surrounded by green mountains, which is very livable.
But when you get closer, you will find that the interior of the project is actually a bit "messy".
The most prominent thing is the variety of yards, which are different from each other. Some have erected fences and are still under construction, while others have completed construction, but the style is not uniform, the courtyard walls have metal railings, wooden fences, solid fences, etc., and the landscape layout inside and outside the courtyard is also different.

Only one house is a bit special, the front and back yards are surrounded by white walls and black tiles, with a Chinese-style landscape gatehouse, which looks very magnificent, and the courtyard and the architectural style of the house also complement each other.

"Now there is only this house, which is the same as the model house we originally saw, and everything else has been demolished. ”
Mr. Zhu, the owner, said that four years ago, he often saw advertisements about the "Spring Breeze Long Stay" project on social media, outdoor announcements, intermediary platforms and other channels, and he happened to have a need for improvement, so he came to see the house with his family.
The sales staff said that this is a scarce Chinese-style villa, and there are both front and back yards. We also looked at the model house, in addition to the magnificent wall, the door, there are pavilions, rockeries, fish ponds in the courtyard, sales have been emphasizing what you see is what you get, so we fell in love with it. Mr. Zhu provided a marketing video sent by the salesperson to the owner at that time, and the aerial footage and introduction text in it were the same as what Mr. Zhu said.

After looking at the house several times, Mr. Zhu decided to buy it.
It is understood that the price of the house is about 20,000 yuan/㎡, which is about twice the housing price in the central city of Pujiang at that time. Mr. Zhu's house has three floors, two floors above ground and one floor underground, with a total estimated construction area of 216.63 square meters and a total price of 4264749 yuan.
After Mr. Zhu paid for the house, the signing of the purchase contract was delayed. Like most owners, he did not sign a purchase contract with the developer until the end of 2021, "We didn't see the complete contract at the time, and it was about a month after it was signed." ”
On November 8, 2022, the project was delivered, and the owners were dumbfounded.
"The developer said that because the policy did not allow it, the magnificent yard that the original model house displayed was gone. "Many owners have reported that the road network of the entire project is also extremely unreasonable, and they have to climb a metal staircase to get home, and even have to pass through the yard of a neighbor's house to reach it.

Some owners who are in a hurry to move in have no choice but to renovate the yard and build the courtyard wall to ensure privacy and security, but they are posted with a "violation rectification notice".

Why is the million-dollar mansion "not the right goods"?
The developer said that it would be executed according to the contract
Why does a "luxury house" bought with so much money "not the right goods"? How can it still "violate regulations" when renovating one's own yard? With the questions of the owners, this reporter found the Pujiang Changzhu Huazhen Real Estate Co., Ltd., the developer of the "Spring Breeze Long Stay" project, and the property owner, Zhejiang Dingyi Property Service Co., Ltd.
It is understood that the "Spring Breeze Long Stay" is part of the health and wellness project in Zhengjiawu Town, which was listed as the third batch of "Slope Villages and Towns" pilot projects in Zhejiang Province in 2017, integrating residence, education and health tourism.
Li Shanjun, the person in charge of the "Spring Breeze Long Stay" project, said that they have never sold the project as a villa, and the "point land supply" is already a "special house", and the marketing video provided by Mr. Zhu is not an official promotional material, "Our own videos will be marked with the company's logo, and this video should be shot by a third-party intermediary." ”
As a pilot project, the "Spring Breeze Long Stay" adopts the "point land supply" model, with the residential area occupied by "construction land" and the front and rear yards "agricultural land". When the owner buys a house, he also signs two contracts with the developer, one is the contract for the sale and purchase of commercial housing, and the other is the contract for the transfer of the right to operate the agricultural land in the yard.
According to the laws and regulations related to land management, large-scale construction cannot be carried out on agricultural land, "the gatehouse and the fence itself cannot be built, and it is a fact that the fence of our project was demolished by the government in the process." However, the model house is also posted with a 'non-delivery standard', which is only used as a display intention, and there is a clear agreement in the contract. Therefore, if there is an owner who renovates and builds on his own, he will also be posted with a "Violation Rectification Notice".
After the magnificent yard "disappeared", the developer has communicated with the owner many times to see if it can be replaced with a metal fence within the scope permitted by the policy.
The reporter learned that one of the reasons why the owners did not agree was that they needed to bear the cost of building the yard.
In this regard, Li Shanjun said that because the commercial housing sales contract signed by the developer and the owner has been written, "the purchaser has been aware that there is no physical fence outside the red line of the construction land of the main building", "this project is a construction land point supply project, and the residence purchased by the buyer itself is not equipped with a garden", "the buyer may enclose or semi-enclose it by itself or entrust a third party to adopt forms including but not limited to physical fences, wrought iron railings, hedges, or combinations thereof, and the consequences caused by the enclosure of the garden shall also be borne by the buyer" , so it should be executed according to the contract.

The reporter noticed that most of these clauses were written in the annex to the contract for the sale and purchase of commercial housing. Mr. Zhu's purchase contract consisted of 57 pages, of which 32 pages were annexed, which exceeded the number of pages in the main contract.
Li Shanjun said that at present, there are more than 260 sets of "Spring Breeze Long Stay" projects that have met the delivery conditions, more than 220 sets have been delivered, and more than 40 sets have not been delivered, and the third phase of the project is still under construction and sales.

In addition, the developer and the property also replied to the owner's report that the basement closure caused the difficulty of entering the house: the owner of the basement of the house facing the main road can find the property to open the basement for free and then decorate it by himself.
Relevant departments responded:
Demolition of illegal buildings is in place as soon as possible
After many investigations and interviews, the reporter learned that the biggest controversy among the owners of the "Spring Breeze Long Stay" project is still the wall, door and courtyard part of the house. Are these houses villas or not? As a pilot project of "sloping villages and towns", can the "Spring Breeze Long Stay" build walls and doors?
In this regard, the reporter interviewed Pujiang County Natural Resources and Planning Bureau, Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, Zhengjiawu Town Government and other relevant departments.
In 2018, the General Office of the Zhejiang Provincial People's Government issued the "Several Opinions on Promoting the Construction of Ecological "Sloping Villages and Towns" in the Development and Utilization of Low Hills and Gentle Slopes", which clearly mentioned that the construction of "sloping villages and towns" prohibits industrial projects and villa real estate development projects, and strictly controls other real estate development projects.
Relevant departments have unanimously stated that the "Spring Breeze Long Stay" project does not involve villas.
The reporter saw from the commercial housing sales contract of an owner that the nature of the house is "other types of commercial housing".
The relevant person in charge of the Pujiang County Natural Resources and Planning Bureau said that the nature of the land for the "Spring Breeze Long Residence" project is commercial, residential, public management and public service facilities, and in order to balance the project funds, the provincial department allows some residential plots to be divided and sold.
As for whether the fence and gate can be built, the person in charge said that the "sloping villages and towns" project is a "point land supply", and no fence shall be set up outside the red line of the transfer.
The reporter learned from Zhengjiawu Town that a total of 6 model houses were built in the first phase of the "Spring Breeze Long Stay" project, which was completed in September 2019. In May 2020, the Joint Conference on Promoting the Construction of Ecological "Sloping Villages and Towns" in Zhejiang Province carried out the evaluation of the pilot project of "sloping villages and towns" construction and the verification of related issues, and found that some of the walls involved encroachment on agricultural land, so they were demolished.

Regarding the current situation that some houses are still fenced, Zhengjiawu Town said that the new illegal construction has been controlled to ensure that there is no further increase, and the stock of illegal construction has been registered one household and one file, and is gradually being demolished.
The relevant person in charge of the Pujiang County Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau said that he would supervise the real estate development company to do further communication and negotiation with the owner in the later stage.
On April 11, Zhengjiawu Town, together with the Pujiang County Natural Resources and Planning Bureau, the Construction Bureau, and the Law Enforcement Bureau, discussed again and formulated a disposal plan for the stock of illegal construction in the "Spring Breeze Long Residence" community: before April 18, the relevant households will be issued a rectification notice within a time limit, and the householders who have violated the construction will be notified to rectify themselves within 15 days of receiving the notice, and the organization that does not rectify within the time limit will be demolished in an orderly and centralized manner, and the solution will be promoted as soon as possible.
In addition, many owners have disputes about the planning changes of the "Spring Breeze Long Stay" project in 2021, why did the first phase of the project increase from 53 buildings at the beginning to 82 buildings later?
The relevant person in charge of the Pujiang County Natural Resources and Planning Bureau explained that before the first phase of the "Spring Breeze Long Stay" project was admitted, the developer wanted to apply for approval for the 29 houses in the double detached house with a residential nature, but considering the meaning of villas, it was not approved at that time, so only 53 buildings in four rows passed the approval. Later, the developer carried out "residential to commercial" for 29 houses, and there was no possibility of changing the villas, and there was a benchmark of no less than 20,000 square meters of land area, which could not be divided into a separate phase, so it was approved and added to the first phase of the project.
