Flat Selection – Points to Note
Since Flat Selection Notification has been sent out before the flat selection date, the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA) 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 of the HA 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 in Hong Kong), or the total monthly income/ net asset value of the family has exceeded the prescribed limits, or domestic property in Hong Kong 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 and the HA and the HD shall not be responsible for any loss or claims arising therefrom. The application fees paid will not be refunded and cannot be transferred to other parties.
- During the flat selection period, applicants may view the updated sales position on the display screens at the lobby of HA Customer Service Centre (Podium Level 1, 3 Wang Tau Hom South Road, Lok Fu, Kowloon). The operation hours of display screens are from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily, inclusive of Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays.
- As some applicants who have selected flats may give up the selected flats before signing of ASP, the HOS Sales Office will arrange to revert the sales position of the “selected” flats to “unsold” and update on the display screens after the completion of all relevant procedures on each flat selection date for information of applicants. Please browse the sales status files uploaded on each development webpage.
- The number of HOS flats still available for flat selection will be updated at the HA Sales Hotline - 2712 8000 at 10:00 p.m. daily.
- Quota / No. of flats available for selection under current flat selection stage

- The applicant should come to the Sales Office for registration 15 minutes before the flat selection session as specified in the Flat Selection Notification.
- After registration of all applicants, the attending applicants will be listed according to their flat selection priority. They will then be arranged to enter the flat selection room accordingly. Applicants should take note of the latest information on flats available for selection displayed at the screens of the HOS Sales Unit. For all applicants who have been arranged to enter the flat selection room, selection of flat is on “first select first served” basis (subject to acknowledgement by computer). The selected flat, once confirmed by applicants, cannot be changed.
- Flat Selection Notifications will be issued according to the application category and the order of priority. Applicants who fail to keep their appointment will lose their eligibility for flat selection and their flat selection priority will be taken up by others lower in the queue. If an applicant turns up at the HOS Sales Unit at the appointed time but fails to purchase a flat while stock still lasts, he/she will be deemed as giving up his/ her chance of flat selection. The applicant will not be given another chance for flat selection again under the same application category.
- If an applicant needs to change his/ her appointment (the appointment can only be postponed but cannot be advanced), he/ she has to seek the HOS Sales Unit’s prior approval in writing.

If the applicant is the only person listed in the application form, he/ she may authorize another relative to complete the purchase on his/ her behalf, provided that the authorized person is aged 18 or above and is holding a valid Power of Attorney. Applicants shall submit a written application to HOS Sales Unit as early as possible before the date of flat selection so that the purchase formalities can be completed without delay due to the obtaining the Power of Attorney. Applicants need to bear and be responsible for all the fees required for obtaining the Power of Attorney.
The flat shall not be assigned by the purchaser to any other person or organisation before executing the Deed of Assignment. If a purchaser requests for cancelling the ASP where the HA agrees to the same, the HA shall be entitled to retain a sum equivalent to 5% of the purchase price as consideration for his agreeing to cancel the ASP. Besides, the cancellation of the ASP is subject to the provisions of the ASP including the purchaser being required to pay or reimburse the HA for all legal costs, charges and disbursements (including stamp duty (if any) and registration fee) in connection with or arising from the cancellation of the ASP.
