Discuss my overseas-owner requirements02 / Start with the evidence
What could your apartment sell or rent for?
Ask for an assessment that explains the evidence, assumptions and recommended next steps. Understand what your property could achieve and what may affect the outcome.
Request my property assessmentAn agency assessment is an estimate, not a guaranteed transaction price or a formal valuation for lending.
A pricing strategy
An asking-price approach shaped around your priorities and timetable.
Preparation priorities
Essential work distinguished from optional improvements.
Uncertainties & next steps
Clear assumptions, any gaps in the evidence, and a plan whether you sell, let or wait.
Agree how your apartment will be presented before launching.
03 / Selling your apartment
Start with a plan you can question.
Your asking price is one part of the strategy. Agree who handles enquiries, how viewings work and when you will review progress.
What evidence supports the price?
Review comparable transactions and understand where your apartment differs.
What should you prepare?
Identify repairs, presentation changes and documents to gather before marketing.
How will the property be promoted?
Agree photography, the listing description, advertising channels and viewing arrangements.
How will you assess offers?
Consider price alongside the completion date, contractual terms and your own requirements.
Ask how prescribed property information and an up-to-date land search fit into the sale process.
Request my selling plan04 / Letting your apartment
Look beyond the monthly rent.
Income, commencement date, flexibility or less work involved in letting: decide what matters most, then compare the complete offer.
- When will the tenancy begin?
- What rent-free period or preparation work is requested?
- Who will occupy the apartment?
- What are the tenancy period and break provisions?
- Who pays the agreed property charges and utilities?
- How will condition, keys and meter readings be recorded?
Higher rent—or less waiting?
| Assumption | Option A | Option B |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly rent | HK$30,000 | HK$32,000 |
| Vacancy | None | 2 months |
| Rent-producing months | 12 | 10 |
| Gross income | HK$360,000 | HK$320,000 |
Under these assumptions, the higher monthly rent produces HK$40,000 less gross income before expenses.
Not a forecast. The comparison starts when the apartment becomes available and uses the same dates.
05 / Sell or let
Decide which approach works best for you.
Cash for another purchase, recurring income, the option to return to Hong Kong or less responsibility: consider which might be the best option for you.
| Consider | If you sell | If you let |
|---|---|---|
| The numbers | Estimate proceeds after mortgage redemption and transaction costs. | Estimate cash flow after vacancy, expenses and debt payments. |
| Your capital | Consider how you would use the released capital. | Plan a cash reserve for repairs and interruptions. |
| Your timetable | Plan the sale and completion timetable. | Review tenancy timing and contractual flexibility. |
| Looking ahead | Assess the effect on your future housing plans. | Assess your willingness to retain property-market exposure. |
Ask for a base case and less comfortable scenarios. What happens if the sale takes longer, the apartment remains vacant or an unexpected expense arises?

Before you get in touch
Questions owners ask.
General guidance to help you prepare yourself. Seek advice from a Hong Kong solicitor about your documents before making legal commitments.
Discuss my circumstancesCan I request both a sale and rental assessment?
Yes. Ask Aria to compare likely sale and rental ranges using relevant market evidence, your apartment’s condition and your timetable. An agency assessment is an estimate, not a guaranteed price or a formal valuation for lending.
Is estate agency commission negotiable in Hong Kong?
Yes. Agree the amount or rate, when it becomes payable, and any other charges before signing the estate agency agreement. Ask for the agreed terms in writing; do not assume there is a fixed commission rate.
Which estate agency agreement should I sign as an owner?
For residential property in Hong Kong, Form 3 is the prescribed seller’s agency agreement and Form 5 is the landlord’s agreement. Ask the agent to explain the appointment period, agency relationship, commission and any additional terms before you sign.
What should I check before signing an exclusive agency agreement?
Check the exclusive period, termination terms and circumstances in which commission is payable. You may owe commission even if a sale is arranged through someone else during the exclusive period, depending on the agreement. Ask for an explanation and legal advice if you are unsure.
Can the same agent represent both sides of a property transaction?
Dual agency is permitted in Hong Kong. The agency relationship must be disclosed, and the agreement should explain whom the agent represents. The agent must also disclose in writing the amount or rate of commission received from the other client. Ask about consent and potential conflicts before proceeding.
What should a landlord check after signing a tenancy agreement?
Arrange stamping within 30 days after execution of the tenancy agreement. For a new domestic letting or renewal, check the applicable Form CR109 notice requirements with the Rating and Valuation Department; its guidance specifies submission within one month of entering into the agreement. Agree who will handle each step and retain the records.
Can Aria replace a solicitor’s advice?
No. Aria can explain the agency process and help coordinate the agreed marketing, viewing and handover arrangements. Consult a Hong Kong solicitor about contractual obligations, ownership issues, disputes or legal commitments specific to your property.
