The city authorities will not reserve apartments for sale exclusively Muscovites

Posted on Apr 25, 2012

Moscow authorities refused the idea to reserve 80% of the constructed square meters for sale exclusively to citizens with Moscow residence permit that was offered at a meeting of city government two months ago. In the modified draft medium-term program “Muscovites – affordable housing” that rule is absent. Developers interviewed by “Kommersant” satisfied that the city did not use non-market mechanisms of market regulation.

Builders c outset were in favor of officials are skeptical. Buyer-nemoskvichu easily circumvent this rule, if in agreement with him to buy an apartment owner Moscow registration, and then give him all the rights of property, they said. Many of them do call the initiative of “PR” and were confident that the officials did not dare to adopt this standard in law.

These assumptions were correct. At the November meeting of the government draft program has been generally accepted, but some provisions Luzhkov sent back for revision. The first was asked to refine just ABOVE the norm on reservation land. Yesterday the head of the Moscow department of housing policy housing policy and housing Vladimir Brykov told the newspaper that the project is completed and the program the other day, “a draft decree gave the mayor to sign.” According to Mr. Brykova, the final version does not contain any provisions on the reservation. “The controversial question of how it can slow down the growth in house prices. Resident non-Moscow region, taking attributes Muscovite can buy housing on more favorable terms, and then resell it,” – he said.

Developers happy decision of the authorities. “The idea of redundancy is not conducive to the reduction, but rather an increase in house prices since the use of any non-market mechanisms are generally a lack of shadow and use mechanisms in the transaction that is the appreciation of goods”, – the general director of “Mospromstroy” Boris Grecki.
