The apartment real estate license is not commercial, but residential. There are two specific identification methods:

1. Check the land use certificate. According to relevant regulations, the nature of house use right is the same as that of land use right. The nature of commercial housing is only residential land, commercial land and industrial land. If you don't see the land use certificate in the sales department, you can ask the property consultant.

2. Find out the difference. There are four main differences between business and residence. Apartments with different uses and commercial nature can be registered as office buildings, but they cannot move into the household registration. Residential apartments can be entered, but they cannot be registered as office buildings. The service life is different. In Chongqing, the commercial life span is 40 years, while the residential life span is 50 years.

The use cost is different, the deed tax of commercial apartments is charged at 3%, and the utilities and management fees are also charged according to commercial standards; Deed tax of residential apartment is charged at 1.5%, and water and electricity charges are charged according to civil standards. The commercial value of commercial apartments is higher, and the unit price is usually higher than that of residential apartments 1000 to 2000 yuan/square meter. If you want to apply for a mortgage loan in a bank, the evaluation price of the former is much higher than that of the latter.

Extended data:

Apartments can be roughly divided into three categories.

First, the rental type. For the purpose of use (tenant's own use), this apartment can be called a serviced apartment.

Second, the owner uses it for his own use. If it is a self-occupied apartment, we call it condo or co-op, and each unit of condo apartment belongs to different owners and has independent property rights. The unit users of the cooperative are equivalent to the shareholders of the company. Obviously, to define what an apartment is from the perspective of commercial real estate in a broad sense, we only refer to five or more buildings with rentalunit, not condo or coop. Although some people buy apartments or cooperative apartments for rent, it is just like buying two apartments for rent, but it is not a commercial building.

Third, there are mixed feelings. There are usually some commercial offices, shops, doctors' clinics and so on. The other part is an apartment or cooperative apartment.

Fourth, investment-oriented, the houses of both shareholders!

In addition, according to the structure and types of apartments, we can also divide them into small apartment complexes, garden apartment complexes and high-rise buildings.
