The Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme welcomed a flurry of interested buyers on Tuesday as discounted Kowloon Bay flats became available for selection. Prospects, including public housing tenants and Green Form certificate holders, flocked to the sales office in Kwun Tong to secure their share of the 60 percent off deals.

Over 800 units, sized between 280 and 469 square feet, were on offer for prices ranging from HK$1.68 million to HK$3.54 million. The scheme also included 120 previously sold Green Form HOS flats and 400 recovered units from the Tenants Purchase Scheme. Priority was given to tenants impacted by recent public rental housing clearance projects, such as those at Wah Fu, Choi Hung, Ma Tau Wai, and Sai Wan estates.

Buyers like Ng, a former Wah Fu Estate resident, and retired Cheung were thrilled about their new homes, highlighting the flats' superior views, convenient transportation links, and the satisfaction of providing a home for others.
