A new book reveals that despite recent cooling measures introduced by the Chinese government, non-Chinese can still buy a home in China.
Landed China, written by Christopher Dillon, is a unique guide for foreigners buying property in Chine’s Tier One cities, offering the local knowledge and practical information that non-Chinese citizens need to navigate what is one of the world’s most dynamic yet opaque property markets.
Dillon, an award-winning writer and property investor, explains how property is bought and sold in cities including Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Shenzen, as well as providing information about how to find finance and legal advice. He also gives examples of how non-residents have successfully purchased property in China.
The book also includes samples contacts and explanations of mortgages and land leases. It also provides useful historical and cultural information that aims to help buyers understand the dynamics of China’s housing market.
Dillon said: “In less than 70 years, China has seen capitalism, central planning and ‘socialism with Chinese characteristics’, and the property market has experienced booms, busts and the largest rural-to-urban migration in human history.”
Landed China (hard cover, 380 pages, ISBN 978-988-17147-4-9) is available from www.landedbook.com and from Amazon.com.
