- In case the buyer makes a lump sum payment just after signing the contract, he shall enjoy a reduction of 10% of price.
- In case of payment by installment's within 1 year, the first installment to be paid right after signing the contract must at least equal to 20% of the total payment, the buyer shall enjoy a reduction of 2% of price.
- In case of payment by installments within 10 years, the first installment to be paid right after signing the contract must not less than 20% following installment's to be paid every year-not less than 8% of the total payment.
- The unpaid amount shall be evaluated in gold (0,98 gold) to be basic for the next installment's. The volume of gold to be paid each time shall be converted into Vietnamese currency (VND) in accordance with the selling price of 0,98 gold issued by the state Bank (the state-owned gold and silver Trading company in the place) on the date of payment.
Example: A contract of house purchase and sale, signed between Mr. Nguyen Van A (buying party) and N provincial House Trading Company (selling party) is:
- Total payment: 81,000,000 VND consisting of 20,000,000 VND for the house and 61,000,000 VND for the assigned land.
- Settlement form: payment by installment's within 10 years, the first installment to be paid right after signing the contract is 20% the total payment. The following installments must not less than 8% of the total payment. Thus, Mr.A must settle up in the following way:
...
...
...
The unpaid amount of 64,000,000 VND, being evaluated in 0,98 gold at the moment with a price of 480,000 VND par chi (1/10 of one teal of gold) shall be:
64,000,000 VND : 480,000 VND = 135 chi
For the next 9 years, to settle up the contract the buying party must pay each following installment an amount of money equal to:
135 chi : 9 = 15 chi
+ The second installment (the 2nd year)
According to the selling price of 0,98 gold at the moment, that is 500,000 VND/chi, buying party must pay:
15 chi x 500,000 VND = 7,500,000 VND
+ The third installment (the 3rd year)
The selling price of 0,98 gold at the moment is 450,000 VND/ chi and the amount to be paid shall be:
...
...
...
Thus, the volume of gold left after the 3rd year is :
135 chi - 30 chi = 105 chi
