Since Flat Selection Notification has been sent out before the flat selection date, the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA), Hong Kong Housing Society (HS) and the Housing Department (HD) do not guarantee that flats will be available for selection by the time the applicant shows up at the appointed time. If the allocated quotas / flats for the applicant’s application category have been exhausted, the flat selection appointment arranged for the applicant will be cancelled, please pay attention to the latest sales position.
At the time of flat selection, the applicant and the family members listed in the application form must meet all the eligibility criteria of the application under the sale exercise from submission of the application form up to the date of signing the Agreement for Sale and Purchase (ASP) of a HOS flat/recovered Tenants Purchase Scheme (TPS) flat of the HA or the Preliminary Agreement for Sale and Purchase (PASP) of a ‘Subsidized Sale Flats Project’ (SSF) of the HS and make relevant declarations again. For any changes in the family circumstances (including but not limited to the family size, marital status, employment status, income, assets and domestic property ownership), or the total monthly income/ net asset value of the family has exceeded the prescribed limits, or private property ownership has been acquired (if applicable) of the Applicant and/or any family members listed in the application form, they should inform the HA such changes at the Home Ownership Scheme (HOS) Sales Unit (the Sales Office) for reassessment of the eligibility of application and priority for flat selection. Should there be any changes in the personal particulars or family circumstances which render them ineligible, the application will be cancelled.
