                                  LEGAL OPINION

TO:
E-House (China) Holdings Limited
17/F Merchandise Harvest Building (East)
No. 333, North Chengdu Road
Shanghai 200041 People's Republic of China

Dear Sirs:

We have acted as legal counsel in the People's Republic of China (which for the
purposes of this legal opinion, excludes the Hong Kong and Macau Special
Administrative Regions of the People's Republic of China and Taiwan) ("PRC") to
E-House (China) Holdings Limited (herein referred as the "E-House (China)" or
the "Company") and have been asked to provide this legal opinion with regard to
the laws of the PRC by the E-House (China).

We are duly qualified to practise laws within the PRC and such qualification and
authorisation have not been revoked, suspended, restricted or limited in any
manner whatsoever. Accordingly, we are duly qualified and authorised to issue
this legal opinion.

In such capacity, we have examined copies of documents, certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, provided to us by E-House (China), and such
other documents, corporate records, approvals, licences, permits, certificates
issued by government authorities and other instruments as we have deemed
necessary or advisable for the purposes of rendering this opinion.

In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to
the original documents of all documents submitted to us as photocopies, and the
signatures, chops and seals on all such documents which bear such signatures,
chops and seals are genuine.

We do not purport to be an expert on or to be generally familiar with or
qualified to express legal opinions based on any laws other than the laws of the
PRC. Therefore our opinion expressed herein relates only to the laws of the PRC
currently in force, which, for the purposes of this legal opinion, include the
laws, rules, regulations, orders, rulings, notices or circulars of any
government, governmental or regulatory bodies of or within the PRC and all
references herein to "laws of the PRC" shall be construed accordingly.

On the request of the E-House (China), and based on the foregoing, we are of the
opinion that:



                                       1





On August 8, 2006, Ministry of Commerce (CHINESE CHARACTER) ("MOC"), China
Securities Regulatory Commission (CHINESE CHARACTER) ("CSRC"), State
Administration for Foreign Exchange (CHINESE CHARACTER) ("SAFE") and three other
PRC government departments jointly promulgated the Rules on the Mergers and
Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprise by Foreign Investors (CHINESE CHARACTER)
("New M&A Rules"), which came into effect on 8 September 2006. Pursuant to
Articles 39 and 40 of the New M&A Rules, the listing of offshore special purpose
vehicles ("SPV"), which are directly or indirectly established or controlled by
PRC entities or individuals, are subject to the prior approval from CSRC (the
"CSRC Approval").

On September 21, 2006, CSRC promulgated permit guidelines on Domestic
Enterprises Indirectly Overseas Issuing or Listing and Trading Their Securities
(CHINESE CHARACTER) (the "CSRC Permit Guidelines"). The CSRC Permit Guidelines
provide that SPVs referred to in Articles 39 and 40 of the New M&A Rules are
subject to CSRC Approval. However, the CSRC Permit Guidelines do not elaborate
on whether SPVs that have completed their restructuring exercises prior to 8
September 2006 must retroactively obtain the CSRC Approval.

Since the Company completed the restructuring before September 8, 2006, the
effective date of the New M&A Rules, we are of the opinion that, the Company's
proposed listing and trading of its ADSs on The New York Stock Exchange do not
require the approval from CSRC.

This opinion is limited to the laws of the PRC currently in force. There is no
guarantee that any of such laws of the PRC will not be changed, amended or
revoked in the immediate future or in the longer term with or without
retrospective effect.

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion in, and the filing hereof as an
exhibit to, the registration statement on Form F-1 originally filed by the
Company on July 10, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Registration Statement").

We also hereby consent to the use of our name under the captions "Risk Factors,"
"Enforceability of Civil Liabilities," "Regulation" and "Legal Matters" in the
prospectus included in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do
not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is
required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the
regulations promulgated thereunder.
