How it works in Hong Kong
Rentals go through an agent, the contract is stamped at the tax authority, and this not a formality: without the stamp, the contract is hard to use as an official document. Floor area is calculated differently here than in Europe, and the stated square footage often includes the common areas of the building.
What we need from you to get started
- Budget including agent commission, deposit, and stamp duty
- Passport and entry permit
- Understanding that actual floor area matters, not the stated square footage
Where things most often go wrong
- —Went by the advertised square footage and ended up with a noticeably smaller place than expected
- —Didn’t have the contract stamped and then couldn’t use it
- —Didn’t account for agent commission and deposits on top of rent
Fees, processing times, and institutional requirements change several times per year, which is why they are not listed here: we verify and quote them as of the date of submission.
