A total of 6,926 new HOS flats are put up for sale under HOS 2025. The HA sets a quota of 2,800 new HOS flats, which is equivalent to about 40% of the total number of new flats for sale, for family applicants applying under the "Priority Scheme for Families with Elderly Members" and "Families with Newborns Flat Selection Priority Scheme". The HA also sets a quota of 700 new HOS flats, which is equivalent to about 10% of the total number of new flats for sale, for one-person applicants. These quotas set only apply to new HOS flats. If the quota for "Priority Scheme for Families with Elderly Members" and "Families with Newborns Flat Selection Priority Scheme" for a particular development is exhausted, eligible applicants under this category may only select flats from other developments where quota for this category is still available. The HA will set the quota on project-by-project basis. Quota of "Priority Scheme for Families with Elderly Members" and "Families with Newborns Flat Selection Priority Scheme" for family applicants and one-person applicants in new HOS developments is illustrated as below:

In view of the numbers of flats and flat selection priority of eligible applicants under HOS 2025, the HA will issue flat selection notification to eligible applicants in writing or by email to the HOS Sales Unit at an appointed time to select their flats and complete all the purchasing formalities according to their priority for flat selection. If required, the HA may also arrange applicants to undergo eligibility vetting on their appointed day of flat selection.

If an applicant or any family member who intends to become a joint owner (including the elderly member) is not able to turn up in person to complete the relevant formalities, he/she is required to obtain prior written approval from the HOS Sales Unit and sign a valid Power of Attorney at a solicitor firm to authorise a family member aged 18 or above listed in the application form to complete the purchase on his/her behalf. If the applicant is the only person listed in the application form, he/she may authorise a relative to complete the purchase on his/her behalf, provided that the authorised 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 as to avoid delay in completing the purchase formalities due to the time required to process relevant documents. Applicants need to bear and be responsible for all the fees required for obtaining the Power of Attorney.

Since flat selection notification is sent out before the flat selection date, the HA and the HD do not guarantee that flat(s) will be available for selection by the time the applicants show up at the appointed time. If the allocated quotas/ flats for their application category have been exhausted/ sold out, the flat selection appointment arranged for them will be withheld. The application fee paid will not be refunded and cannot be transferred.

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. Change of appointment can only be effected upon approval, the applicant’s order of priority for flat selection will be deferred accordingly.

In such cases, the legal costs to be paid to the HA’s appointed solicitors and other legal costs and expenses for executing the transaction shall be borne by the purchaser (not by the HA). The solicitors of the HA, not acting for the purchaser in the transaction, will not be able to protect the purchaser’s interest.

The following alienation restrictions are only applicable to the purchasers of a HOS flat at Kai Yeung Court/ Wui Hei Court/ Ying Fai Court/ Long Fung Court/ Yu Fung Court:
A purchaser who wishes to assign or let the HOS flat after becoming an owner of a flat at Kai Yeung Court/ Wui Hei Court/ Ying Fai Court/ Long Fung Court/ Yu Fung Court sold under this sale exercise will be subject to the terms of the Deed of Assignment and the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Government lease. The HA will not buy back or nominate a buyer (except HOS Secondary Market) to buy the above flats, and the following alienation restrictions will apply to the owners of the above flats:

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 (Note 1) 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 (Note 1) 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-HOS" to the Hong Kong mobile telephone number provided by the applicant in his/her application form.
