At the meeting, HoREA and many real estate enterprises in Ho Chi Minh City frankly raised the outstanding shortcomings and asked city leaders to try to solve the "congestion points" because otherwise they would affect to the business environment.

For example, the case of Phu Long Real Estate Joint Stock Company. 15 years ago, the company won the auction of 14 land plots of 44.49 ha in Phuoc Kien commune, Nha Be district. The company has paid all auction winning money in accordance with regulations and has been granted the title by the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City. The investor has invested in building a modern Dragon City new urban area, contributing to changing the appearance of the urban area of ​​Nguyen Huu Tho and Nha Be districts.

They will not relocate but also building more, expanding illegal houses, raising livestock and poultry causing environmental pollution, preventing the company from deploying to invest in construction of projects, even taking actions to arbitrarily break into the construction site, destroying assets and dismantling the company's fence, we strongly urge the city and Nha Be district to support to allocate sufficient land to the company to implement the project, comply with the law ".

General Director of Saigon Thuong Tin Real Estate Joint Stock Company (TTC Land) Bui Tien Thang also said that the company is investing in a project of an office - apartment - commercial complex with more than 5,000 m2 in the assigned area. Highway Tan Da - Ham Tu, District 5. However, the company is having problems in compensation, site clearance, without the support of the government will be difficult to overcome.

According to Mr. Thang, among 57 households who are compensated for resettlement, only one household will not relocate and no cooperative attitude. This household does not accept compensation according to the approved city plan of about 4 billion VND but requires nearly 30 billion VND, equivalent to about 1.1 billion VND / m2.

Meanwhile, representatives of Hung Thinh Real Estate Trading Joint Stock Company "complained" that the company is carrying out procedures to set up a high-rise apartment project in Truong Tho ward, Thu Duc district with a total project area. is 28,980m2. In the process of implementing the project formulation procedures, Hung Thinh encountered some difficulties and difficulties related to the plan of connecting traffic with adjacent planning roads including belt road 2, road D5 and road N2. .

Other common problems of housing projects in the city. HCM is mentioned by many businesses that "investors must have legal land use rights". Enterprises suggested the city remove the congestion of public land, regulations on legal residential land ... because they thought that "hand tied" real estate businesses.

Before a series of specific cases of enterprises mentioned, Mr. Nguyen Toan Thang, Director of Ho Chi Minh City Department of Natural Resources and Environment, said the actual situation: "There are many parts of the department in the implementation organization. The current point is slower than the direction of Ho Chi Minh City ".

Regarding the resolution of enterprises 'proposals in the previous dialogue, on November 8, 2018, the department has issued a specific response to HoREA regarding enterprises' problems. Actual implementation of the project is greatly entangled by the provisions of law, decrees, circulars. In December 2018, Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Tran Vinh Tuyen signed a petition to the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment regarding 35 problems, in order to soon get ideas to remove difficulties for the operation of enterprise.

For the story of Phu Long Real Estate Joint Stock Company, Mr. Thang informed that this company won the auction and was re-occupied must be definitively dealt with, because of the principle of protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the people and businesses, who is wrong to handle that person. Recently, after the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee directed, the Department proposed Nha Be district to quickly clarify the above contents, coordinate with the department to definitely handle the next procedures, to allocate land to investors. perform. However, the incident is slow because Nha Be district has not yet had an official report.

Mr. Tran Trong Tuan, Director of Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction added that the regulation of "legal residential land" to be recognized as an investor, according to the provisions of the Housing Law, only 25% of projects in HCMC are eligible. "legal residential land"! The People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City has twice reported to the Prime Minister. In the latest working session, the city also reported to the Prime Minister and was informed that the Prime Minister assigned ministries to find ways to remove it.

Listening to HoREA's comments and representatives of businesses, Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Vice Chairman Tran Vinh Tuyen affirmed that he is always ready to support all businesses with specific actions. What is in the jurisdiction of the city, the city will direct the settlement immediately. The content outside the jurisdiction, the city will register to work with the Government, reflected with the National Assembly to soon correct the irrational points as businesses reflect.

Thereby, Ho Chi Minh City's leadership assigned the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, Department of Planning and Architecture, Department of Construction to openly transparent with the "electronic information APP" of each project to people. People can learn clearly. Because there are now many projects, according to regulations, are not sold but have signed sales contracts with people to mobilize capital, including projects "nothing has been sold".

A "sensitive" issue caused a lot of noise in the market recently, explained by the Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, which is the review of project legal documents of real estate projects. The legal review of housing projects of enterprises through specialized agencies such as inspectors, inspectors, investigating agencies and ministries is a very normal job.

Accordingly, enterprises have not implemented closely in the past time, but when conducting review, enterprises are pressing to send documents to the ministries, making the situation more complicated; then the media reported inaccuracies that caused serious problems, affecting the security and order of Ho Chi Minh City.

“The view of the city is absolute protection of the rights of the people, which projects the State has allowed, and those legal rights will be protected. Businesses with the consent of a competent state agency will be legally protected. The legal errors belong to the responsibility of state management agencies, the State will handle the wrongdoers, not to affect the rights of people and businesses, "Vice President Tran Vinh Tuyen affirmed. .
