What Are the Rules for Foreigners Buying House in Beijing?

Foreigners who intend to buy a house in Beijing need a certificate issued by the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau to prove that they have stayed in China for at least one year for reasons of work or study, according to a statement jointly issued by six ministries led by the Construction Ministry.
The rule required that foreigners only use and dwell in the house themselves and not buy a house for other purposes.
Foreigners were also required to use their real names when buying a house in China.
