For the remaining development involving 49 units, the estimated completion date is to be updated by the developer.

In addition, two applications for consent to assign involving a total of 3,048 residential units and one application for consent to assign for commercial development are being processed.

No pre-sale consent or consent to assign was issued in May.

Members of the public can obtain up-to-date information on pre-sale consents for uncompleted residential developments issued for the last six months and cases pending approval as at the end of May by calling the Legal Advisory and Conveyancing Office's hotline (2147 5475) or on the Lands Department website (www.landsd.gov.hk).

Intending purchasers are advised to carefully study details of the development and the sale procedures, through information available from public advertisements, sales brochures and price lists released by the developer, before making a deposit for a purchase. The sales brochure for a development (normally including a Chinese version) also contains the main points of the Deed of Mutual Covenant, including the definition of common areas, terms of appointment of manager, the basis of calculating management fees, amounts of any deposits and other relevant details, as well as any special features of the Government land grant, which intending purchasers are recommended to read carefully.
