The Lands Department Consent Scheme is a system put in place to regulate the sale and purchase of uncompleted buildings and to ensure orderly sale of the same. Before you purchase an uncompleted unit under the Scheme, you should:
- seek confirmation from the developer whether a “Consent to Sell” has been issued or you can check it on the Lands Department website;
- note that the developer or the estate agent are not allowed to receive any deposit or “reservation fee” before the developer has obtained the “Consent to Sell”.
