Jinan removes curbs on home purchases

Jinan, the capital of Shandong province, has ended all restrictions on home purchases as of Thursday.

It followed the lead of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, which did likewise at the end of last month.

There will be no further limits on how many homes a resident may own, and those who do not have official urban residence permit, or hukou, in the city may also buy apartments under the policy change.
