Lessons from Hong Kong’s Property Market

  • The process of buying property in Hong Kong is actually pretty simple
  • You have to really want to buy, or it may not happen
  • If you compare Hong Kong prices to those in any city except London or New York, you'll go mad
  • If you buy, you will almost certainly renovate
  • Renovating is hard work
  • Despite the frustration, owning and renovating can be enormously satisfying
