The Housing Bureau today (October 6) reminded owners of the eight buildings from Blocks A to H of Wang Fuk Court (WFC) in Tai Po, who have returned the duly signed "Letter of Acceptance" on or before August 31, that regardless of which option has been chosen, they are required to complete the execution of the Agreement for Sale and Purchase (ASP) for the sale of their WFC flats on or before the deadline on October 15.

     If owners are unable to sign the ASP for the sale of their WFC flats in time due to special circumstances (such as being unable to clarify the title of the WFC flat or requiring a longer time to handle probate matters), the Government may consider making appropriate arrangements on a case-by-case basis at the Government’s discretion while balancing empathy, reason and law, with priority given to empathy. Owners concerned will be informed before the deadline accordingly.

     The flat selection for the Special Sales Exercise (SSE) for WFC Owners commenced on September 29. Applicants who have signed the ASP to confirm the sale of the titles of relevant WFC flats to the Government legally will be invited for flat selection. The Housing Bureau has earlier commenced the issuance of invitation letters in batches according to the priority sequence determined by the computer-generated random ballot. Applicants will successively attend flat selection sessions to select and purchase the units offered under the SSE in accordance with the dates and timeslots specified in the letters. The entire flat selection process is expected to be completed by the end of November.

     If, due to the special circumstances as mentioned above, WFC owners have not yet signed the ASP for the titles of the relevant WFC flats, as long as such WFC owners complete the execution of the ASP before the end of the flat selection period of the SSE, they will still be invited for flat selection. If the titles of the relevant WFC flats have not yet been assigned to the Government, a new flat under the SSE will first be reserved for such WFC owners only during the flat selection stage. The Hong Kong Housing Authority or the Hong Kong Housing Society will enter into an ASP or a Preliminary ASP with such WFC owners for purchasing the new flat only after the completion and execution of assignment of the titles of the relevant WFC flats to the Government.

     With the deadline approaching, the Engagement Team co-ordinated by the Housing Bureau is stepping up contact with owners who have not yet signed the ASP for the sale of their WFC flats to provide the assistance required. The Engagement Team will continue to communicate with WFC owners. If owners have any enquiries, they may contact their designated Engagement Team member or call the hotline at 2129 8133. Owners may also visit the dedicated website for the Wang Fuk Court long-term housing arrangements plan (www.hb.gov.hk/wfc) for further details.
