Buying a Flat under TPS

Buying a Flat under TPS

The Tenants Purchase Scheme (TPS) was introduced by the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA) in 1998. In 2002, the Government reviewed its overall housing policy. In support of the Government's repositioned housing policy, the HA terminated the TPS after the sale of TPS Phase 6B in 2005 / 2006. According to prevailing policy, sitting tenants in TPS estates can still opt to purchase their flats.

The 2019 Policy Address proposed that the HA make active preparations with a view to accelerating the sale of the existing unsold flats in the TPS estates.  Thereafter, Subsidised Housing Committee of the HA endorsed in 2020 putting up recovered TPS flats for sale in the HOS and GSH sale exercises to eligible Green Form applicants, and reviewing the sale of recovered TPS flats after two sale exercises.  First batch of recovered TPS flats were put up for sale under GSH 2020/21, and the second batch of recovered TPS flats will be included for sale under HOS 2022.  Eligible Green Form applicants who would like to have further information on the HOS and GSH sale exercises, please visit the sections on “Sale of HOS Flats” and “Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme” of this website.
