The general contract is in quintuplicate, one for the buyer, two for the bank evaluation loan, one for the developer and one for the real estate bureau. This is a formal practice.

However, it does not rule out the possibility that small and medium-sized cities or some developers cut corners and do not follow the rules. As long as it does not affect the basic contract, there will be no big problem, but it will only cause some inconvenience.

He always blames the developers for their slowness.

Whether it is the sales department, the developer or the Housing Authority, their effectiveness in fulfilling their obligations is very low, but when they are cheap and affordable, you can see that their speed has obviously accelerated, with China characteristics. To give a more recent example, if you look at the legal part of the question, how many are still on the list after ten or twenty days? When you ask a question, you will leave without care, which is the characteristic of China.

Article 25 of the Interim Measures for the Management of Urban Real Estate Development stipulates that within 30 days from the date of signing the sales contract of existing houses or faster houses, the purchaser shall go through the formalities of real estate ownership registration. However, registration itself takes time. The reasonable time is about two or three months. If it is unreasonable, then postpone it.

In my case, what should I do now?

If you only ask about the property right of the house, then I suggest you ask the developer or the Housing Authority directly, and you can find out whether it has been filed or is being filed. If so, the basic problem is not big.

If you want to ask about the contract, I suggest you bring invoices, receipts, formalities, etc. Ask the developer for a new contract, or go to the Housing Authority to get a copy of the contract for the record. Be sure to make a copy of your information before you go, so as not to lose trouble.

Is it normal and reasonable for me to buy such a new house for so long?

It's only two months now, and it's still within a reasonable time. After all, it takes time to go through the formalities. After all, it takes time to go through the formalities in China.

As far as this case is concerned, we don't see any problem with the house at present, but it will take a long time to go through the procedure. However, if you don't get the contract, it will be bad for you. If the contract is not returned after filing, please be sure to ask for the purchase contract according to the suggestion in point 3. This certificate is as important as the real estate license.

I hope it helps you. Good luck!
