请假上班族们一个关于Leasehold的问题

陌生的香港人

Basically, what the people above said re written approval from your neighbours for any external additions are correct as normally there is an agreement binding what both parties can and can't do on a cross leased property. However, please note that this is only a CIVIL MATTER and Council will NOT be involved if one of the parties build anything without consent from another. Any breach of agreement can only be resolved in Court.

Having said that, if you want to build a deck or make your house larger, when calculating the development controls for any new development (max building coverage, minimum permeable/grass surface, etc), Council will look at the WHOLE site (including your and their house, not just your house) to determine whether your new addition will still comply. For example, normally the "max building coverage" of a property is 35% of the site area, so if you want to build something that makes the TOTAL (2 houses) building coverage more than 35%, you will need to get a resource consent.

However, for the Height in Relation to Boundary Control (another development control that governing the height of building/structure near boundary), it does not apply to the internal boundary between you and your cross lease neighbours.....

So, LZ may see how weird a cross lease property is.

I cant type Chinese now becos I m at work, but I m happy to elaborate a bit further in Chinese later if I need to....

楼上是专业人士。。。

总之还是那句话，你觉得这房子外面没有任何需要动的地方就无所谓了（修缮不算），专指什么加个deck啦，加盖屋子啦，装个大锅什么的（sky不算）

最近看到一个房子，什么都挺满意的，就是它是leasehold，大家觉得应该买吗？

Personally I will never buy leasehold properties, but if the price is cheap, can consider for a medium term investment.

请问leasehold是不是不用交地税, 但是要给租金, 租金是如何算呢? 一个个月算? 就像租房一样吗?

买房不用买地..那么会便宜一些吗? 便宜多少呢???
