Cubans are allowed to sell their homes

Cuban authorities like to talk about the fact that more than 85% of Cubans live in their own homes, and in principle it is true. However, in Cuba, the owner of the property has the right to sell it. The only legal way - is the exchange of housing: a slow, bureaucratic and often corrupt process that you want to find real estate and want me to get permission of the state. To avoid this process, some Cubans marry real estate owner, transferred the property, and then divorced. As new housing is very low, Cuba is experiencing an acute shortage of housing. Many houses were often divided, and in some families, three generations share one bedroom. Raul Castro, has spent a number of liberal reforms now came close to the housing problem. In 2010, the government eased the rules for creating the construction companies and the purchase of building materials. Already announced that foreigners be allowed to have a home in the tourist areas. And in April 2011 it is expected to adopt a solution that will allow Cubans to sell, buy and change their house freely at the next congress of the Communist Party. The effect of this change may not be as great. And now the majority of exchanges include cash payments conducted informally. Amounts can range from a few thousand dollars up to $ 40 000 for an apartment with three bedrooms. In addition, the government will regulate the market, and so on claim that they would not allow "accumulation" of real estate. Finally, customers may require proof that the money is legal and not obtained from the black market. According to The Move Channel
