The following is issued on behalf of the Housing Authority: Prospective home buyers are reminded that applications for the flats being offered for sale in the Home Ownership Scheme (HOS) Phase 17B will close at 7 pm on Monday (November 20). A Housing spokesman today (Friday) called on applicants to send in their applications as soon as possible so as to avoid the last-minute rush. "Applicants living in private-sector housing and applying with White Forms should submit their applications to the Home Ownership Centre to facilitate checking by staff of the Housing Department," the spokesman said. "The centre is on the Third Floor of Lok Fu Shopping Centre Phase I in Junction Road, Wang Tau Hom, Kowloon. It is open from 9 am to 7 pm daily to accept applications," he said. Public housing tenants must apply with Green Forms and submit their applications to their respective estate offices for certification before forwarding to the Home Ownership Centre. "Postal applications will only be accepted if the postmark shows that they are mailed on or before the deadline on November 20," the spokesman said. Five HOS projects and one Private Sector Participation Scheme (PSPS) project, comprising 4,659 flats, are being offered for sale in Phase 17B. They include Tsz Oi Court Phase II and Tsz On Court Phase II in Tsz Wan Shan, Hiu Lai Court Phase III in Sau Mau Ping, Kam Fung Court Phase II in Ma On Shan, Hin Ming Court in Tseung Kwan O, and the PSPS Harmony Garden in Chai Wan. The flats are sold at a 45 per cent discount from their assessed market values. Other than the 151 small flats at Hin Ming Court,flat prices range between $635,500 and $1,551,000. The small flats at Hin Ming Court, which measure about 20 square metres, are priced between $293,800 to $364,200. All the flats at Hin Ming Court are for sale to Green Form applicants only. In addition, 200 flats in Bo Shek Mansion in Tsuen Wan under the Hong Kong Housing Society's Flat-for-Sale Scheme are available to applicants. End/Friday, November 17, 1995 NNNN |
