Deputy Roads Minister Says Resale of National Housing Movement Units Must Be Legalised

Habibollah Taherkhani, the Roads and Urban Development Ministry's deputy for housing and construction, said on Tuesday, October 27, 2026 (5 Aban 1405) that, under the law, resale and transfer of National Housing Movement units must be made possible. EcoIran carried his remarks, citing Hamshahri Online. He recalled that in informal Mehr Housing trades one unit was in some cases sold to 10 people, and that formalising sales means a new buyer brings fresh funds into the project.

Taherkhani added that such trades must follow the regulation and that judicial authorities insist on objectively verified physical progress before a unit can be bought or sold. He announced no new regulation or start date, so the statement is not a final government decision.
