Hong Kong Homes is the online home of Landscope Real Estate Services. Hong Kong Homes is a one-stop information centre for expatriates relocating to and living in Hong Kong, offering comprehensive real estate knowledge, facts and updates, as well as apartment rental and sale listings.
Due to its highly skilled and effective workforce, well-established infrastructures, and an efficient and friendly government, Hong Kong has established itself as the service hub for Asia and the Greater China.
Hong Kong's business environment is very sensitive to the economies of China and neighbouring countries. Hong Kong housing market in turn follows the ups-and-downs of the local economy. Such volatility makes it extremely difficult for headquarters of multinational companies to gauge the housing costs.
HR professionals of global companies are advised to check out apartment listings within this site when they are reviewing housing budgets, or whenever you are deciding the housing packages for assignees relocating to Hong Kong.
Due to supply shortage, land is at a premium in Hong Kong. Typical apartment block is high-rise building constructed in small downtown land wedged between two existing buildings with bustling pedestrian sidewalk at the front and narrow scavenging lane at the back.
Apartments popular among expatriate assignees are generally located on the hillside close to Central Business District. Apart from the proximity to work, apartments on Midlevels appeal to expatriate assignees because of better living environment, infrastructures and amenities, which evolve over time to cater for the daily needs of expatriate communities.
Families with school-aged children favour apartments or townhouses on the Southside and the Peak. Besides offering spacious accommodations and outdoor spaces, apartments in these areas are insulated from the noise and pollution of the city. Proximity to schools or within the catchman area of the desirable schools is one of the major considerations among parents.
The advance of information technology and business communication affects the length of international assignments. Increasing numbers of international assignments are on project based, ranging from one month to six months. During the assignments, the expatriate may travel extensively throughout Asia. Serviced apartment is a no-frills solution for these international nomads.
There is a wide range of serviced apartments for these city hoppers to choose from. Driven by strong demand and unusually high return, operators find it profitable to convert secondary office buildings into serviced apartments. These apartments usually offer modern and chic accommodations in convenient locations. Rentals usually range from start at HK$10,000.00 to HK$40,000.00 per month. Minimum stay is one month.
Traditional serviced apartments are usually operated by hotel groups, offering five-star services and full range of facilities. Tenants usually pay a premium for these types of accommodations.
Selling goods and services to the global market is of strategic importance to many multinational companies. These companies commit resources and their top talents in international assignments to setting up operations, selling products and services and running projects. Implications as a consequence of failed assignments go beyond dollar values.
Our engagement with these companies is strategic. To convince the candidates to accept the assignment, we must project the positive aspects of the city during the "look-see" trips conducted during their job interviews. Stress-free, harmonious home life is essential to the success of any international assignment. Our agents are committed to finding the best-suited apartments to provide a setting for the assignees and their family members to settle into.
Services provided by Hong Kong landlords may not meet the standards required by the assignees. Our customer service team will complement this drawback by providing ongoing support to the assignees for any defects and maintenance issues throughout their leases.
Our agent team at Hong Kong Homes is committed to providing comprehensive market information and intelligence to serve the expatriate community in Hong Kong. With very few exceptions, expatriate assignees prefer renting to buying. As such the focus of this site is to provide up-to-date rental listings in expatriate housing areas.
Behind the site is over 100 real estate professionals working in different aspects of data collection and updating, photo taking and editing, as well as answering queries any viewers may have.
Besides the website, we operate as traditional real estate agents providing full range of real estate services to our clients.
Expatriates committed to live and work in Hong Kong on long-term basis are finding owning their own homes more financially appealing than renting. Furthermore, the recent removal of security of tenure for residential tenancies also spurred long-term expatriates to reconsider buying their own properties. The sale section of this web site focuses on residential properties favoured by expatriates.
