Utilities

John Zhang — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 06:38:01 +0000

Utility costs usually the rental quotation includes a management fee. But this does not include utility costs such as water, electricity, gas, telephone and network. Generally speaking the cost of gas, electricity, and water would be USD100- per person per month if you are living in an apartment.

Electricity-Billed monthly, during 6am to 10pm, RMB 0.6 per KWH, during 10pm to 6am RMB0.3 per KWH. The fuse system may not be the same from your home country, so label each fuse box and make sure you know what to do when the fuse trips.

Water Billed monthly, Water must be boiled before drinking. Also popular are water dispenses with plastic water jugs on top that can provide drinkable cold or hot water at all times. The base unit can be purchased at any department and supermarkets, and many houses will come with one installed. Water containers can then be delivered as needed (usually through your com- pound management office).

Gas Billed monthly. Most kitchen burners use gas, and each of them has valves that should be carefully turned off when you leave your home for an extended period of time. There are three types of the gas supply in china: city gas, natural gas and bottled gas, depending on what type of accommodation you choose.

Telephone Phone lines are available everywhere, there will be a basic monthly fee of RMB25. Broad-band (ADSL) is available whenever there is a telephone line from China Telecom. There is a fixed charge for unlimited time use cost RMB140 per month. The ADSL broadband bill will be integrated together with the telephone bill from China Telecom. (See more detailed information on page.)

Cable or Satellite TV Most buildings are already connected to cable TV system, giving you even more Chinese channel. New and foreign compounds will have foreign channels like CNN, and BBC, and other channels in English, Japanese, French, and German via satellite TV. Individual satellite dishes are not legal, but are routinely sold and installed.

Property Types

John Zhang — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 06:16:03 +0000

Property types in Shanghai include villas(别墅, Bieshu), apartments(公寓, Gongyu), serviced apartment(酒店式公寓, Jiudianshi gongyu) and old house(老房子, Laofangzi) available on the market in Shanghai. There are either owned by a private landlord or by the developer. A developer owned property is better managed but are also more rigid during the lease contract negotiation.

Villas - typically outside of Shanghai’s city center, these are the luxury complexes that come fully furnished and equipped with a community center, health club, and restaurant. They are usually gated communities in family- oriented locations and are closer to schools than they are to nightlife and entertainment. Many have children’s facilities on site. Some provide shuttle bus services to major shopping areas.
Apartments – a boom in development projects has been seen over the past few years. Overseas Chinese and locals have rushed in to buy, and then rent them out to foreigners with housing allowances. These apartments tend to be new, built within the last few years. They are spacious high rises with elevators. The apartments are sold “raw” and renovated by the buyer. Depending on the owner, some have high quality fixtures and charming wooden floors, and some have cheap tiles and flooring. If you like the complex, look at different apartments in the same building. The newer the building, the more likely you will have to deal with the noise of a neighbor renovating their interior. Some developments offer housekeeping, concierge service, and fitness facilities.
Old Houses – includes old villas, apartments and lane houses, foreigners and rich Chinese built graciously designed homes, notably from the 1920s to the 1940s. They are charming and heavily sought- after, especially by foreigners. Thus their prices reflect the heavy demand. Some are beautifully renovated, have quiet gardens, and make living in a bustling city a much more calming experience. However, aside from the unique charm, old building may still have some disadvantages like obsolete wiring, leaky plumbing, drafty windows, and the presence of vermin.
