It depends on the area and property value of your house
The Knowsley House that I am going to purchase is corresponding to Council Tax Band D (GBP 1,294 /year)
GBP 1,294/year = HK$15,628/year = HK$ 3,882/quarter =
HK$1,294/month
Not expensive at all when comparing to HK standard for a 4 Bedroom Detached House (1,852 sq ft)
[b]Discount on Council Tax[/b] wrote:
Empty Unoccupied & Unfurnished Discount
A discount of 50% is applicable for the first 6 months in which a property is unoccupied and unfurnished. Entitlement to this discount commences on the date the property first becomes unoccupied and unfurnished.
In order for a new period of discount to be granted there must be a minimum occupation period of 6 weeks.
New Property Discount
Newly built properties that enter the Valuation List for the first time, providing that they remain continually vacant, will receive 100% discount for the first three months; a 50% discount will be applied for the next period of 3 months, and after this time Council Tax will be payable at the full charge.
Very cheap, my small hk apartment has to pay about the same
Go and get one house in the UK as the price is reasonable together with the low exchange rate of GBP nowadays
Hope the GBP will come down to 1 GBP to HK$11.5 before I complete the contract exchange for the new house
