It was only in 1971 that the unit was purchased for tens of thousands of yuan, and they later gave birth to children in Jianshanli. 60 years.

Mrs. Yang said that the unit upstairs was converted into a suite. In addition, the building was very dilapidated and in disrepair, and there were problems such as water seepage and peeling of concrete from time to time. Hey, his husband, who has reached his eighteenth year, has to renovate the wall every six months to a year to cover the problem of peeling of the outer wall.

Hope to acquire at least 18,000 sq. ft. to earn more than 10 million yuan

However, after rebuilding in the future, the current harmonious relationship between neighbors may be difficult to see again, but what the old couple is even more worried about is the compensation plan that is still unknown. They are worried that the compensation will not be able to buy similar units in the same district. The URA can refer to the compensation for the acquisition of To Kwa Wan and other places and purchase its units at a price of at least 18,000 yuan per square foot.

If their wishes come true, the two old couples can receive 10.76 million yuan in compensation, which is more than 100 times the property price of the year; if their wishes fail, they also hope that the authorities can arrange "flat-for-flat" arrangements.

Although the URA’s compensation plan has yet to be finalized, it refers to the price per square foot of a 7-year-old building in Sham Shui Po, which is located at Lai Chi Kok Road and Yi Kuk Street. The price per square foot of the "Fenghui" jointly developed by the Cheung Kong Group and the URA is 16,562. The price per square foot of the stand-alone property "Jinling", located on Xiyangcai North Street and Far East Development, is RMB 18,601. If the compensation is calculated based on the price per square foot, it is believed that the Yang family can indeed get compensation of approximately RMB 10 million.
