Hong Kong Property

Hong Kong property is some of the most expensive in the world. Almost half the population of seven million live in government housing, with the remaining property available for investment. There are virtually no restrictions on purchasing property. Some points to consider include:
1.	Buying procedures is simple as Hong Kong encourages real estate investment.
2.	Foreign banks, particularly those in Asia, can often arrange mortgages. Visit our Asia Property Investment page for more details of Healy Consultants' Asia property and mortgage services
3.	Individuals investing HK$6.5 million (US$835,000) are eligible to apply for a Hong Kong residence visa. More information can be found on this migration services page.
4.	Stamp Duty on Hong Kong property ranges from 0.75% to 3.75% of the purchase price.
5.	Owners and occupiers of Hong Kong property are liable to pay property tax of 15% of the assessed annual rental income, regardless of whether the person is non-resident in Hong Kong and regardless of nationality.
6.	Hong Kong property prices exceed US$4,000 per square foot.
7.	Depreciation or interest costs are deductible for corporate profits tax purposes. Therefore, it is beneficial for a Hong Kong property to be owned by a Hong Kong corporation.
8.	Properties on the fourth floor, or any floor with a four in it, are often slightly cheaper because the Cantonese word for 'four' sounds similar to the word for 'death'.
