Flat selection for Special Sales Exercise for Wang Fuk Court Owners commences today
The flat selection for the Special Sales Exercise (SSE) for Wang Fuk Court (WFC) Owners has commenced today (September 29) with the first batch of applicants of about 35 households participating in today's session.The Housing Bureau has earlier commenced the issuance of invitation letters in batches according to the priority sequence determined by the computer-generated random ballot. Applicants will successively attend flat selection sessions to select and purchase the units offered under the SSE in accordance with the dates and timeslots specified in the letters. The entire flat selection process is expected to be completed by the end of November.
Ample time for smooth flat selection and exhibitions to help grasp project information
The flat selection sessions are held at the Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme Sales Unit (GSH Sales Office) of the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA) in Kwun Tong. With empathy as the priority, the Government will allow ample time to explain and assist applicants throughout the entire flat selection process so that they can make their selections smoothly with complete reassurance. To help applicants gain a better understanding of different projects, a sales exhibition for the SSE has been set up at the venue, featuring exhibition panels and other information on each development project as well as the project models for the development projects at Chung Nga Road West in Tai Po, namely Yan Nga Court and Hiu Nga Court, displayed for the first time.
Advancing long-term housing arrangements and facilitating flat selection to help residents rebuild their homes
Upon expiry of the deadline for WFC owners to accept the Government's acquisition offer on August 31, a total of 1 971 owners (99.3 per cent) from the eight buildings from Blocks A to H of WFC had signed and returned the "Letter of Acceptance" to confirm their intention to sell their titles to the Government. Among them, about 1 700 owners have chosen to participate in the SSE.Following the smooth completion of the ballot session for the SSE on September 15 and the commencement of the flat selection today, the scheme has been assisting affected owners in rebuilding their homes in an orderly manner.
Applicants who have signed the Agreement for Sale and Purchase to confirm the sale of their WFC titles to the Government legally will be invited to the flat selection sessions. If the titles of the owners' WFC flats have not yet been assigned to the Government, a new flat under the SSE will be reserved for the owners during the flat selection stage. The HA/ Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS) will enter into an Agreement for Sale and Purchase or a Provisional Agreement for Sale and Purchase with the owners for the new flat purchased only after the completion and execution of assignment.
Over 4 400 units across ten projects offering abundant and diversified choices
The Government has reserved over 4 400 flats in a total of ten development projects of the HA and the HKHS for owners who have sold their titles of WFC flats to the Government to purchase or to participate in the "Flat-for-Flat" arrangement. The ten development projects are located in Kowloon Bay, Kai Tak, Kam Tin, Tseung Kwan O, Ping Shan, Tung Chung, Tai Po, Fanling and Kwun Tong with saleable areas ranging from about 26.0 square metres to about 52.0 sq m (about 280 square feet to about 560 sq ft) with a total of about 2 800 larger flats with saleable area of 37 sq m or 400 sq ft or above, accounting for over 60 per cent. As the number of flats reserved far exceeds the number of WFC owners participating in the SSE, owners with different flat selection priorities will enjoy abundant and diversified choices.
Sales brochures and project information
From now till the end of the flat selection period of the SSE, applicants and related persons participating in the SSE may obtain sales brochures and price lists of respective development projects at the GSH Sales Office. The information can also be downloaded from the SSE website (www.housingauthority.gov.hk/ssewfc).
