Price band

| Reduction | Saved | Net of our fee |
|---|---|---|
| 3% | HK$833,175 | HK$416,588 |
| 5% | HK$1,388,625 | HK$694,313 |
| 8% | HK$2,221,800 | HK$1,110,900 |
Saved = band midpoint × reduction; net = saved ÷ 2. Real room depends on the seller's position, the bank valuation and same-period comparables.
The negotiating read
Transactions are steady but not constant, so a stale listing and a seller with a deadline are where the discount actually appears.

Is the asking price fair?
We value each listing against this estate's own reported deals, weighting recent deals more heavily and adjusting for deal date, saleable area, floor level and block, and show the price we would negotiate towards. Where deals are too thin, we fall back to the live asking distribution — the method used is stated below the table.

Ad valorem stamp duty, solicitor's fees, agency commission and mortgage-related costs. Every dollar off the agreed price also reduces stamp duty, commission and decades of mortgage interest — see the buying-cost guides linked on this page.
