The male netizen posted a post in the Facebook group “Hong Kong Public Housing Discussion Forum (FB Version)” a few days ago, saying that he faced a business crisis earlier and had to sell the property as a last resort, but unfortunately it all ended up in bankruptcy. The victim pointed out that following selling the property, he no longer had property in his hands. In order to have a roof over his head, he asked other netizens when they might apply for public housing.
“I would like to ask, is it possible to arrange public housing following two years of selling the property? Thank you.”
Netizens: Look at private flats or HOS flats
After seeing the post, many netizens pointed out that they can apply for public housing within 1 to 2 years following the sale of the property, but some also pointed out that there is no limit, as long as the relevant documents are submitted during the asset review. Some netizens said that it depends on whether the sale is a private flat or a HOS flat. If you are a former HOS flat owner, you need to meet certain conditions before you can apply for public housing, and shared your own experience.
