Statistics from four local banks show that over 70% of loans for second hand house deals are bad loans, which is a great threat to the city's economic order, reported today's Oriental Morning Post.
The four local banks are the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, Bank of China and China Construction Bank.
The false information provided by the buyers or sellers often arouses unnecessary dissension or even fraud which endangers the security of the business capital and the transaction of property rights.
As the main centers for second hand house deals, the four local banks have initiated several new approaches, including establishing an internet system and a capital supervision operation, in order to maintain the economic order in the real estate business.
