Luxury Property Acquisition in Hong Kong
Real Estate in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is the traditional gateway to China and still a substantial private banking centre. Its economy runs on banking, trade finance, shipping, art and auctions, and the members we look after here are typically trading families and principals with China facing interests.
Property is found before it is listed, where that is possible. We work through owners and their advisers rather than portals, arrange viewings privately, and bring in local counsel and tax advice before anything is signed.
Foreign ownership rules are specific and are confirmed with counsel before viewing. Practically, a large international airport with an established business aviation presence, and the auction calendar brings a great deal of this work with it.
Most of what we arrange here runs between Hong Kong and India. That means one desk holding both ends, so nothing is lost between an adviser there and a counterparty here, and neither side is left waiting on the other's working hours.
Held locally
How this works in Hong Kong.
- Requests from Hong Kong reach a named relationship manager rather than a queue, and the same person stays with the request until it is closed.
- Ownership structure is settled with your advisers before an offer is made.
- Where something cannot be arranged in Hong Kong on the terms you have asked for, you are told that plainly and early rather than late.
