Over 9,600 agreements lodged with Land Registry in April
A total of 9,606 sale and purchase agreements for building units, including both residential and non-residential properties, were lodged with the Land Registry last month.
The figure represents a decrease of 19.4 per cent from that of March this year, and a decrease of 25.9 per cent when compared with April last year.
The total consideration of these agreements in the month is $29.54 billion, down 21.1 per cent and 21.6 per cent when compared with the amounts for March 1996 and April 1995 respectively.
The figures are contained in the monthly statistics released today (Friday) by the Land Registry on deeds relating to property transactions received for registration in the Urban and New Territories Land Registries last month.
Relevant statistics for March 1996 and April 1995 were provided for comparison. Figures on sale and purchase agreements received for the past 12 months and the year-on-year rate of change were also released.
These statistics generally relate to land transactions executed up to four weeks prior to their submission for registration, as there is usually a time lag between the execution of deeds and their lodgement for registration.
