Quote:I won’t be moving down that way until the end of the year. My first step is to find somebody who can fit a central heating system
I have a brochure kicking around my place somewhere from when I was considering doing it. If I find it then I will post the contact details for you. It was for a radiator based system with central gas boiler.
Ian – Found the brouchure. Contact details are on their website, http://www.cdoyj.com/. I got the brochure from a friend who used them. He was happy with the system/install, and it is still working 2 years later.

Hello,
I don’t know of Maxxelli, relocation agent in China, can help you but these company was very useful for me when I moved to Chengdu. I’m living near the US consulate until June. Their website is: http://www.maxxelli.net, it is very easy to contact them.
I have had some different problems after signing the contract and all the problems were quickly fixed, thanks to Maxxelli. For example, I’ve had a problem with my cooking fire. They even have translated my Chinese washing machine.
I hope you will have a good stay in China and will find a good heating system!
Regards,
Hannes
Listen folks. If you are having trouble with your washing machine, get that washing machine translated.
If necessary, get your cooking fire translated too.
Remember when you were a kid and fire didn’t need to be translated? Shit, old school fire was awesome…
Excellent spam post Ruth. Reference to having ‘enough money’, and link to $US pay day loan site offering $1500 MAX loan amount. I guess I could by a decent dog kennel for that.
lol at the last few days of posts in this thread.
To return to the topic of the property market in China though, I stumbled on this today: China’s riskiest property market just collapsed. Is this how it starts?
It might be too late now, but if you’re still loking for someone to fit the heating in your new place I can check the name of the guys who did the underfloor heating in our flat. Wonderful to walk on a heated floor during the cold months.
Government just added a 20% capitals gains tax on sellers. This will not help first time buyers.
Quote:Government just added a 20% capitals gains tax on sellers. This will not help first time buyers.So house buying becomes a dramatically worse proposition – the price rises for prospective buyers and current owners are locked in to their current places. This will only exacerbate the issue of the middle class not being able to be homeowners, and it will lock everyone into their current homes. If/when a crash comes then you’ll have no option but to sit it out for a decade for the market to recover (assuming that reaches current-bubble levels).
The 20% capital gains tax means to drive potential buyers to new-built apartments at exterior rings of the city.
The very problem in china is: china locals do not have a reliable place to save and invest. Stock market? forget it, “you enter the market with a BMW, come out with a bicycle”
bank? <1% interest rate return.
then real estate becomes the only sensible choice for investment.
the transaction/matching process of buying/selling real estate in mainland china is very exhausting, not advised for foreigners without local knowledge.
