Skopje, 18th August 2013 (MIA) – Citizens are offered cheap flats by the Joint Stock Company for Business and Housing Management, which they can buy through the Government Project "Buy a House Buy a Flat", Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Zoran Stavreski said.
On Sunday, he visited the construction site, where the JSC for Business and Housing Management builds 7 buildings with 330 flats. Half of the flats that are not sold, according to Stavreski, are a good chance for those who plan to buy a flat through the "Buy a House, Buy a Flat" Project given that one square meter costs EUR 795, i.e. below EUR 900, which is a condition for credit through this Project.
– I believe that this is an excellent opportunity for those who have not sold their housing issue. Citizens believe that "Buy a House, Buy a Flat" Project is a good one, the Government gives cash funds and helps a lot, however it is more difficult to find flats at a price of below EUR 900 per square meter, as it is the condition for credit. Today, we are at this very excellent location, in which there are such flats. The flats are not only being sold at a price of EUR 795 per square meters, but they are also equipped with kitchen and air-conditioning, Stavreski said.
Location of the flats, he assessed, is excellent, in an urban settlement, only 10 minutes from the city center of Skopje, with school, kindergarten, greenery and everything that is necessary for normal urban living.
– I would like to appeal to all citizens who need to buy a flat and to use the opportunity offered by both the Public Enterprise with its offer of flats and the Government under the “Buy a House, Buy a Flat” Project, Deputy Prime Minister Stavreski said.
In addition to the settlement “Reonski centar”, he pointed out, that the state enterprise also builds flats in Prilep, Bitola, Ohrid, Kavadarci, Stip, Strumica and Pehcevo. It has around 300 flats available, which may be bought at a price ranging between EUR 300 and EUR 600 per square meter, which as Deputy Prime Minister pointed out, is really exceptional offer.
– There is also offer of houses. I Know that “Hot and hot” offers houses in Radisani and Sonje and that in the next months, there will be also offer in Hopodrom and Ilinden, meaning that the citizens who want to build a house or to acquire their own house, may do that under the "Buy a House, Buy a Flat” Project under exceptionally favourable conditions. These who want to the use the state subsidies under this Project may obtain EUR 15,000 for buying or building a house and EUR 10, 000 if they decide to buy a flat, Stavreski said.
According to him, after the recent increased support from the state with the irreversible subsidy, the citizens showed great interest in this Project.
– I believe that even bigger number of citizens will solve their vital issue, i.e. will acquire their own home with the help of the Government, Deputy Prime Minister Stavreski stressed.
Director of the JSC for Business and Housing Management Cvetko Grozdanovski informed that the flats being built in "Reonski centar" are very cheap.
– These flats are very cheap. In the Republic of Macedonia, we offer one of the cheapest price since we want, with the help of the Government, to help all citizens to acquire flat and to have their own home for the first time in their life, Grozdanovski said.
He believes that the unsold 150 flats will be quickly solved with the subsidies under the "Buy a House, Buy a Flat" Project. Given the price and the location of these flats, the interest shown is quite big. All flats are sold by notice. Each two weeks, we announce competition in the media and the regional offices, Grozdanovski said. 3, out of the 7 buildings in the settlement "Reonski centar" will be completed at the end of September, 2 at the end of the this year or at the beginning of next one, while the last 2 will be completed in 2014.
