「開括號」、「閂括號」、「隱形括號」──新鐵路方案之爭(2009/09/18)

我住傲雲峰, 希望土瓜灣站設在傲雲峰, 哈哈! 2015年左右完工便好了.

I am not sure how they are comparable properties...need to visit your flat to have a view. Hang Lung certainly has an interest to buy the whole block. As I said before, the process may take 10 years, 20 years or even 30 years. In fact, they have interests in many blocks in good location, not just your block. This means that waiting Hang Lung to buy is meaningless. Anyway, it is a nice flat. You can simply rent the 居屋out.

Thanks for 脫苦海 and Beckham's opinion.

To Beckham:
Paterson Street is a convenient place to live. My property is located at TownGas Avenue/ I.T. bontiques which is near the edge of Victoria Park.

I have performed the land search for comparable properties (I am an auditor so I used to do this). The results (which is the actual consideration) is much higher than the one shown in the real estates.

And I do not know the intentions of Hang Lung
1. They secretly negotiated with my block's owners and acquired a lot of flats. However, they just rent it out.
2. At the same time, they always have a representative to attend the meetings of 業主立案法團 without saying one words.
3. They continuously fund the decoration of the street and also funds us for decoratio, e.g. install the block's gate for free.

So, I do not know the intention.

The living environment is okay, so the desire of ''improving living condition'' does not exist.

My another property is 1.5m 居屋 in Siu Sai Wan. To be honest, it has an illiquid market and not much appreciation upon the purchase. It's a 雞肋 to me.

Hope I clarify your questions.

To 脫苦海.
Thanks for your articles regarding Real Estate. You have provided us with insights about the market. Keep up your good work.

下? 乜原來咁奸, 咁四叔同翔龍灣d住戶咪好唔抵? 咁樣利益輸送都得? 大家都係發展商乍wo?

另外恭喜脫兄完成新作. ^^

Do not just see the real estate advertisement. Let me touch your question...with $1.5M, there is not much choice in the urban city. You better visit Wanchai and CWB to see view the flats yourself.

To HeyHeyHey, I think Paterson st is a convenience place, and is still pretty good for living. I do not understand your mentioned "another house costs around 1.5M". Are you asking "how" to invest or "what" to invest?

Hi,

I have a flat (around 950 sq.feet) in Paterson Street. It's a so-called high-class flat in 60-70s but now it's very old.

I heard that Hang Lung Group is secretly purchasing flat for re-development. Do you thing I better wait or just sell it?

My concern is ''"50年樓齡的強拍門檻降至80%". I cannot control whether Hang Lung will knock my door one day, say, ''hey, i want to buy your flat'' or just being the 20% being forced to sell at cheap price.

If fortunately Hang Lung wants to buy my flat, whether I can 開天殺價 (sorry to use this wording, but everybody would like to squeeze out every pounds, right?) same as those in 裕民坊? I do not understand the formal procedures or how to protect my interest. Simply put, how I can avoid being exploited by "50年樓齡的強拍門檻降至80%"?

Another question is, my flat costs abt 3.5m (from real estae advertisemnet), I do not understand why the price is even cheaper than other comparable location (say, Wan Chai's Elizabeth House)?

What strategy you would suggest?

No financial burden with another house costs around 1.5M.

Thanks!

David

i can say that this is one of the best blogs i ever read on the net.

i read almost all your articles in this blog, thank you very much 脫苦海兄,

i got a problem and cant really make the decision what to do in the current economic environment.

i am planning to buy flat within 2 years of time for my family and now got 12M for the first installment, now aimming to buy property of 40-42M in Mei Foo, choose it becoz of its convenience traffics. Always think of whether to wait or to act now. coz at this time all the property price has reflected their good news already. Should i wait abit more or buy now?

 

 

Thanks again 脫苦海兄,

I tried walking from the Elements to 柯士甸站 recently, 5-8 min walk without cover but I believe it'll be better designed with cover later (or with underground connection), when the new railway station to Shenzeh/Guangzhou's starting to develop. Btw, I m looking forward to see your new book.

Dear 脫苦海兄,

I hope that I found that I know your blog earlier haha. Thanks for your reply and invaluable advice!

For "50年樓齡的強拍門檻降至80%", I deem it might not be that applicable to my building (unless to about 50%) as I know not many applicants want to sell their house with great convenience. Even so, I wonder at what price will the shopping price for usually? 1/2 of the price of the new house? $12,000/sw feet x 1/2 or something like that?

I might have about 12M budget to move. My big problem would be that my wife (not driving) need to work at Sheung Shui (close to East Rail Line), I have great difficulties to persuade her to move to West Kowloon region.

Once again, thank you for your advice

 

Dear 脫苦海 CHing,

I've been reading your blog for some time and found you put a lot effort to that blog and it's very informative! I m very grateful you share with us!

I have a question about my 45-year old apartment in Kowloon Tong (It's just 1 single block building). It was located at Cornwall St, just in front of One Beacon Hill. It's noisy, old and looks really outdated compared with many new houses nowadays. However, the location is 3-min walk to the railway/MTR/Festival Walk, usable area about 1200 square feet, 41 region etc.

 

Such kind of building is hardly the piece of cake for most people and I understand the potential for the price to rise is rather limited. Should I sell it and change horse to some new buildings in West Kowloon, which have a better potential to rise in the near future?

CK and Sino seem to have new projects in Beacon Hill and Broadcast Drive respectively, should I wait for them to be released to boost the price a bit before the selling?
