Survey: Over 65% Property Buyers Paid Partially in Cash

Imagine you want to buy a house or some land.

A survey found that most people, more than half, paid for their property partly with cash, even though it's a bit like trying to hide money.

This has been happening for the last few years.

Even though the government is trying to make things more open with digital records and payments, it seems like hidden money and bribes are still a big part of buying property, especially in smaller towns or when buying old houses.

People said they had to pay extra money to many people, like government workers, just to make the sale go faster.

The survey thinks this happens because rules can be tricky and the official prices set by the government are too low, making it easier to do secret deals.
