Flat selections for the Sale of Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme (GSH) Flats 2025 (GSH 2025) of the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA) will commence from August 25. The HA will invite eligible applicants in batches to select flats for sale under GSH 2025, via mail or email, at the designated time at the office of the HA’s GSH Sales Unit in Kwun Tong (GSH Sales Office), according to the priority under the respective application category.
Flat selections for GSH 2025 to commence first enhancing the housing ladder
“The HA has long been striving to enhance the housing ladder through the provision of various types of subsidised sales flat (SSF) schemes and continuous enhancement of relevant arrangements in order to assist Public Rental Housing (PRH) tenants with better financial capabilities and other eligible applicants to achieve upward mobility by purchasing SSFs. The HA jointly launched the Sale of Home Ownership Scheme (HOS) Flats 2025 (HOS 2025), GSH 2025 and the White Form Secondary Market Scheme 2025 with applications invited in April. The ballots for three schemes were separately drawn on July 10. Given that flat selections for GSH 2025 are set to commence from August 25, we encourage the eligible applicants to seize the opportunity and fulfil their home ownership aspirations early,” a spokesman for the HA said today (August 17).
Convenient location of Shing Chi Court and diversified choices of flats
Flats for sale under GSH 2025 include over 800 flats from the conveniently located new GSH development, Shing Chi Court, in Kowloon Bay with saleable areas ranging from about 26.0 square metres to about 43.6 sq m (about 280 square feet to about 469 sq ft) (see Annex 1). In addition, about 120 resale GSH flats and a new batch of about 400 recovered Tenants Purchase Scheme (TPS) flats will be offered for sale under GSH 2025.
Affordable pricing to facilitate home ownership
The selling prices of flats in Shing Chi Court under GSH 2025, range from about $1.68 million to $3.54 million. The mortgage payment is about $11,500 per month, assuming a flat selling price of $2.7 million (saleable area of around 35.3 sq m or 380 sq ft) and that the buyer takes out a mortgage at 95 per cent of the flat price for a mortgage repayment period of 30 years at a prevailing mortgage interest rate of about 3.5 per cent.
Priority flat selection for families with newborns or elderly and extra support for single applicants (see Annex 2)
The order of priority for flat selection by eligible applicants will be determined by the application category, quota allocation and ballot results. Affected tenants of the HA’s announced PRH clearance projects (i.e. Wah On House, Wah Lok House, Wah Cheong House, Wah Tai House and Wah Kin House of Wah Fu Estate; Pik Hoi House, Kam Pik House and Tan Fung House of Choi Hung Estate; Geranium House and Narcissus House of Ma Tau Wai Estate and Sai Wan Estate) who would like to purchase an SSF in lieu of PRH will be accorded priority in flat selection over other applicants under GSH 2025.
