Sale of Old Prefabricated Panel Houses in Cixi

There is no unified special policy for the sale of old prefabricated panel houses in Cixi, and the disposal method needs to be comprehensively determined based on the housing safety appraisal, renovation policies, and the wishes of the owners. Details are as follows:

If the house is appraised as a Grade C or D dilapidated building: In 2026, the governance and renovation of prefabricated panel houses in Cixi mainly focus on Grade C and D dilapidated buildings. Among them, Grade D dilapidated buildings are generally demolished and rebuilt, and housing vouchers and other means are used to solve the resettlement of residents. If a house is appraised as a Grade C or D dilapidated building and the owners vote in favor of renovation (most regions require an approval rate of over 95%), it may be included in the scope of demolition and renewal. At this time, residents can choose compensation methods such as monetary compensation, property rights exchange, or housing voucher resettlement according to their own needs.

If the house does not meet the dilapidated building standard: For old prefabricated panel houses that do not meet the dilapidated building standard, usually only regular old residential community renovations are carried out, including exterior wall repairs, pipeline network updates, etc., aiming to improve the overall living environment and infrastructure level of the community, without involving demolition and compensation.

Special 'old-for-new' housing activity: Cixi Urban Investment Group has previously launched a commercial housing 'old-for-new' activity, but this activity has clear restrictions. It targets old houses on state-owned transferred residential land with a construction year before January 1, 2010, and an area not exceeding 144 square meters, and requires that the property rights of the houses are clear and there are no seizures, etc. If old prefabricated panel houses meet the above conditions, they can be replaced with new houses through this activity, but the scope of the activity is limited to Xushan Street, Gutang Street, and Baishalu Street.

Currently, no special sales policy for old prefabricated panel houses in Cixi has been found. The specific disposal method should be based on the housing safety appraisal results and local renovation policies. Housing safety appraisal is the key basis for determining whether a house is a dilapidated building and whether it can be included in the renovation scope; local renovation policies clarify the renovation methods and compensation standards under different circumstances. When disposing of old prefabricated panel houses, owners should first conduct a housing safety appraisal and then choose an appropriate disposal method based on local policies and their own wishes.
