[Direct answer]In the Beijing area, the order of liquidation in the execution process generally follows the principle of "priority first, attachment first, and ordinary claims in order or proportionally". Specifically: Creditors with security rights on the collateral property shall be paid off first; statutory priorities (such as the right to priority payment of the construction project price, ship priority, etc.) shall be paid off first according to law; execution fees shall be paid off first; followed by ordinary claims. When multiple ordinary creditors apply for execution on the same property, they shall generally be paid off in the order of attachment, seizure, and freezing. If the property is insufficient to satisfy all claims, they shall participate in the distribution and be paid off proportionally. It should be noted that "execution claims" themselves do not equal priority rights. Whether they enjoy priority depends on whether there are security or statutory priority rights, as well as the order of attachment.

I. Problem background and typical scenarios

Creditors are most concerned about "who gets the money first". In practice, there are often multiple creditors for the same debtor: some have mortgages, some are just ordinary borrowers, and some have their assets seized before others. With different repayment orders, the amount they can ultimately recover may vary greatly. Only by understanding the two main principles of "priority and the order of seizure" can they determine their own repayment status.

II. Key points of contention

First, the priority compensation of the security right. Second, the scope of statutory priority rights. Third, the role of the sequential attachment. Fourth, the proportional repayment when the property is insufficient.

III. Professional analysis by Henglue Lawyers

Firstly, priority of security rights: Where the debtor provides guarantees such as mortgages and pledges for debt performance, the creditor enjoys priority of compensation for the secured property; where there are multiple guarantees on the same property, they are generally satisfied in the order of registration. Secondly, statutory priority rights: The law stipulates priority of compensation for specific claims, such as the right to priority compensation for construction project payments—where the employer fails to pay the contractor in accordance with the agreement, the contractor may agree with the employer to discount the project or request the people's court to auction the project. The contractor shall be entitled to priority compensation for the discounted or auctioned project price. Such priority rights generally take precedence over ordinary claims in the order of satisfaction. Thirdly, sequential enforcement: Where there are no priority rights, multiple ordinary creditors applying for enforcement on the same property are generally satisfied in the order of seizure, attachment, and freezing, i.e., "first seizure, first compensation". Therefore, once the creditor obtains clues to the debtor's assets, they should promptly apply for preservation or enforcement of seizure to seize the priority position. Fourthly, pro rata satisfaction and participation in distribution: Where the debtor's property is insufficient to satisfy all debts and meets the conditions for participation in distribution, each creditor shall be compensated in proportion to their claims. In addition, enforcement fees are paid first, and necessary expenses such as auction, sale, and storage are generally deducted from the proceeds of enforcement before the remaining funds are satisfied in the aforementioned order. In cases of enforcement against debtors with no assets, our lawyer Yun Hang helped creditors realize their claims by demonstrating the accelerated maturity of shareholders' contributions and legally adding liable parties; lawyer Wang Dong protected creditor's enforcement rights in the second instance of excluding enforcement in the name of house purchase; and lawyer Tian Jiaoyan achieved both efficient recovery and protection of rights by mediating installment payments and agreeing to apply for compulsory enforcement on all remaining balances upon breach of contract.

IV. Practical Suggestions and Legal Basis

The first step is to verify whether there are any guarantees and registration priorities on the debtor's property. The second step is to determine whether the creditor's claim falls under statutory priority rights. The third step is to apply for preservation or seizure of the property in a timely manner after obtaining clues to the property, in order to secure a higher priority position. The fourth step is to apply for participation in the distribution of the property in a timely manner when the property is insufficient, and to claim proportionate compensation. The fifth step is to continuously monitor the seizures and priority claims of other creditors during the enforcement process, and to adjust compensation expectations and response strategies in a timely manner. Main legal basis: Article 807 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China (effective from January 1, 2021) regarding the priority right to compensation for construction project prices; the Civil Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China and relevant judicial interpretations regarding seizure, attachment, freezing, and participation in distribution; specific application shall be subject to the currently effective provisions.

5. Henglue Law Firm's Reminder

The three principles of repayment order are: secured or statutory priority claims are repaid first, ordinary claims are subject to the order of attachment; "execution claims" are not the same as priority rights, and only secured claims can provide confidence; if the property is insufficient, the distribution will be carried out on a pro rata basis, and the attachment should be carried out as soon as possible once clues are found.
