According to the report, Expatriate families in Shenzhen are allowed to buy more than one home in the city. However, individual family members are only restricted to buy one.

A regulation was made to ban foreigners and overseas Chinese to buy multiple houses in Shenzhen. It has taken effect on July 10th. The spokesman said that  expat husband and wife who have been working in Shenzhen over one year, each of them can buy a house. The residents of Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and other overseas Chinese enjoy the same right too. However, if the husband and wife have bought their house here, both are prohibited to buy another.

Foreigners have to work or study in the city for a year before buying a home in Shenzhen, according to the regulation. However, residents of Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas Chinese are not subject to the restriction.

Foreigners are required to produce work contracts and employment certificates or produce university enrollment certificates when buying apartments, according to the regulation.

Meanwhile, overseas buyers are not allowed to purchase offices in the city, according to the bureau.

Only overseas companies and organizations with branches in Shenzhen are allowed to buy offices here, and they have to sign a declaration that the property will be used by themselves, according to the regulation.

Overseas companies and organizations cannot buy residential homes here unless they are registered property investors, according to the regulation.

Foreigners and overseas Chinese who have signed contracts to buy houses before July 10 are not restricted by the regulation.
