The following alienation restrictions are only applicable to the purchasers of a GSH flat at Shing Chi Court:

The premium which the owner is required to pay is calculated based on the prevailing market value of the flat without alienation restrictions, and the percentage difference between the original purchase price of the flat and its initial market value as specified in the last assignment. In other words, the premium is calculated by applying the discount of the original purchase price to the prevailing market value (Note 2).

Note 1: Original purchase price is equal to the sale price and means the price of the flat as specified in the last assignment.
Note 2: The details of calculation of premium will be subject to the terms of the Deed of Assignment and the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Government lease.

If there is any information related to the sales exercise (including notifications of the flat selection date, etc.), the HA will send one-way message(s) using the SMS sender ID “#HKHA-GSH” to the Hong Kong mobile telephone number provided by the applicant in his/her application form.
