Buying a house before marriage and repaying the loan after marriage is the common property of husband and wife?
Not usually, but there are two situations. First: if one party repays the loan with the joint property of husband and wife, the part paid before marriage belongs to personal property, but the repayment and value-added part after marriage enters the joint property of husband and wife. Second: if one party repays the loan with his own property after marriage, then the property is still owned by the individual.
The first case belongs to a special aspect and does not belong to one party in the sense of repayment. It is worth mentioning that China's laws generally judge the ownership of houses according to who contributes. If both men and women contribute, the property is distributed through the proportion of men and women. Unless otherwise agreed by the husband and wife.
According to Article 10 of Judicial Interpretation III of Marriage Law, one spouse signs a real estate sales contract before marriage, pays the down payment with personal property and borrows money from the bank, and repays the loan with the same property after marriage. If the real estate is registered in the name of the down payment, the real estate shall be handled by both parties through agreement at the time of divorce.
If no agreement can be reached in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the people's court may decide that the real estate belongs to the party with registered property rights, and the unpaid loan is the personal debt of the party with registered property rights. After marriage, the amount paid by both parties to repay the loan and the corresponding value-added part of the real estate shall be compensated to the other party by the party handling the property right registration according to the principle stipulated in the first paragraph of Article 39 of the Marriage Law.
