SHANGHAI – A Chinese city near Shanghai has relaxed rules to allow property owners to become permanent residents, a move that may help to addressThe eastern city of Ningbo will give so-called hukou, a passport-style regional permit allowing access to better medical and education resources, to anyone who purchased properties there, according to a rule posted on the local government’s website last week. The previous rule required applicants to work in the city.

Home sales in Ningbo plunged 58 per cent by area in the first three quarters, steeper than a 46 per cent average seen in similar cities, according to China Real Estate Information Corp. data. Second-hand home prices fell the most in more than seven years in the city in August, government figures show.
