Seoul City Considers Adjusting Timing for Granting Priority Purchase Rights of 'Mirinae House' to Families with Three or More Children

Adjustment Under Review: From 20 Years to 10 Years
Support for Moving to Larger Units After 3 Years
Hanok Mirinaejip to Be Supplied Starting This Year

The Seoul Metropolitan Government is considering adjusting the timing of granting the right of first refusal related to the supply of 'Mirinaejip,' a long-term lease housing type II for newlywed couples. They plan to advance the provision of the right of first refusal to multi-child families who have three or more children after moving into Mirinaejip. To utilize various types of rental housing, from this year, hanok houses will also be supplied as Mirinaejip.

On the 22nd, Seoul City announced that it is reviewing a plan to advance the existing right of first refusal from the 20th year to the 10th year for families who have three or more children after moving into Mirinaejip. For families with three or more children who have two or more children after moving in, support will be provided to move to a larger unit not at the 10th year but at the 3rd year.

Long-term lease housing type II Mirinaejip is one of Seoul City's low birth rate countermeasures aimed at providing stable housing for newlywed couples and prospective newlyweds preparing for marriage and childbirth. Residents can live for up to 20 years with a jeonse deposit lower than the surrounding market price, and families with two or more children are granted the right of first refusal to purchase the house they have been living in at a price lower than the market price. Unlike existing long-term lease housing, long-term lease housing type II is supplied exclusively to newlywed couples or prospective newlywed couples.

To supply various forms of rental housing, hanok houses will also be supplied as Mirinaejip. Currently, among the public hanoks that Seoul City is using for multi-purpose purposes to preserve hanok, three locations including the Gahoe-dong hanok, where the agreement is ending, are scheduled to be supplied within this year. The city plans to add 2 to 3 hanok-style Mirinaejip units annually.

In addition, the city plans to promote the supply of Mirinaejip towns through large-scale public land development. In the Godeok-Gangil public housing district, a Mirinaejip complex exclusively for newlywed couples with about 366 households will be created, along with customized community facilities such as daycare centers, co-parenting spaces, and care centers.

In the Seoripul new housing site, 11,000 out of approximately 20,000 households will be supplied as Mirinaejip. After signing an agreement within the year for project implementation with Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) and Seoul Housing and Communities Corporation (SH), the designation of the public housing district will be pursued. Once the district designation is completed in 2026, sales are targeted for 2029, with move-in planned for 2031.
