Outreach Support Service for Minority Owners
Since 2011, Senior Citizen Home Safety Association has been appointed by the Development Bureau to provide assistance to minority owners (especially the elderly owners) of old buildings in Hong Kong who are affected by the Land (Compulsory Sale for Redevelopment) Ordinance or private acquisitions. Our service includes providing suitable advice and information as well as accompanying minority owners in need to meet the acquiring party. With support from a cross-functional team of professional consultants, our social workers team helps minority owners facing compulsory sales and acquisitions make suitable and informed decisions.
What is Compulsory Sale?
The Land (Compulsory Sale for Redevelopment) Ordinance (Chapter 545 of the Laws of Hong Kong), implemented in 1999, stipulates that if any person owns not less than 90% of the property rights in a certain area, they can apply to the Lands Tribunal for an order to redevelop that area and compulsorily sell all the property rights in that area. The Lands Tribunal may issue such an order (Compulsory Sale Order) when certain specified conditions are met.
What are Minority Owners?
It means the persons who own undivided shares in the lot but not the persons who have made the application under the Ordinance in relation to the lot. On the other hand, the persons who have made the application under the Ordinance in relation to the lot are called “Majority Owners”.
Service Target
Minority owners in relation to the Ordinance (Cap.545) and their immediate family members who are affected by compulsory sale or property acquisition by private developers.
