If only a part of the house under my name is used for business, can I still register it for personal use?

If part of the house is used for business and the rest is for self-residence, you can still apply for self-use tax rate and tax savings. Property tax, land tax and real estate tax can all be levied separately according to the proportion of use. The key is to clearly divide the use, declare honestly and apply in time to legally achieve the best of both worlds: "self-residence, business, tax saving and tax exemption".

Waterproofing

After buying and selling a used house, waterproofing is particularly important, especially in water-logging areas such as rooftop balconies. Although there is a five-year civil law warranty against water leakage, if problems occur, repairs may damage the structure and litigation will be time-consuming. Common waterproofing materials include PU, waterproof blanket and elastic cement, among which elastic cement is cheap and ductile. The cost of hiring workers to carry out the work is high, mainly due to the shift fee and the time cost calculated based on the number of coating layers. If the area is small, you can operate it yourself and save unnecessary expenses.

Taiwan’s housing prices and the value of urban planning areas: timing of purchase and region selection

Taiwan's housing prices continue to rise. Although there has been a slight correction due to the impact of the housing crackdown policy, the overall trend is still upward due to long-term inflation and price indices. Housing prices in both north and south are high, and Chiayi City has become a potential choice. Almost the entire city is designated as an urban planning area, and housing prices are affordable. With the development of high-speed rail and the future entry of TSMC, the potential is significant. However, before investing, you need to evaluate demographic, economic and market risks and make prudent decisions.
