Compared with the management records of the House Management One Member Limited Liability Company, 600 salable old villas have mixed ownership. These 600 old villas accommodate 5,686 households, equivalent to the lease contracts signed by the Housing Management Company Limited. Currently, these villas have been sold to 4,973 households. The remaining 713 households have not been able to buy villas before, so the Department of Construction proposes to continue allowing the sale of these villas. The sale of villas is for the areas that have been allocated to households that are using it stably and have rent or house distribution decisions before. The selling prices are implemented following the provisions of Decree No.61, Decree No.99, and Decree No.30, each location has a specific calculation method according to the location of each contract, and there is no common price for all villas. Previously, the Hanoi People's Committee issued a decision on ‘Solutions to promote the management and use of public villas built before 1954 in Hanoi city in the 2021-2025 period. Accordingly, Hanoi will sell 600 old State-owned villas, which are on the list of salable villas and are mainly located in central districts. This is one of the solutions on mechanisms and policies launched by the Hanoi People's Committee to manage and use public villas built before 1954 in Hanoi in the 2021-2025 period. The sale of villas is to generate capital for the renovation, gentrification, and reconstruction of the historic inner city with ancient houses, old villas, and other architectural works.
