✨ Apartment Hunting in Hong Kong pt.3 (with rent prices, $10~12k HKD) 🏠

[@norfolkreads]

I get spending extra to get more space, until you've lived somewhere super cramped you can't understand how day to day things like cooking become really annoying! This was super interesting to see house hunting in a different country, thanks for taking us with you!

[@AshelyKim]

Thank you for watching! ☺️

[@GaCA-tb7cg]

I randomly browsed YT and watch your video. I like your English and your smile! Wish you enjoy your life in HK.

[@AshelyKim]

Thank you! 😃

[@larissasmaniotto5700]

Hello, I'm Brazilian, your video came to me after I researched the monstrous building. I liked your videos and I wish you all the best in your new home.

[@AshelyKim]

Thank you for the kind comment :)

[@mlc7053]

I really enjoyed your video. It's like listening to a friend! Congratulations on your new home!

[@AshelyKim]

I'm glad that you enjoyed!

[@torviuhtreddatter7681]

Love that you got the house you wanted! Side note always say no to mold! Paint does not get rid of the underlying cause of the mold! I'm so glad you didn't go with that moldy place! Soon we will hopefully get an updated tour with how your decorated and all that jazz!

[@AshelyKim]

Thank you for the lovely comment ❤️

[@yorktons]

My lease is up next month, and after seeing your video (and looking around a bit) I realize it's a very good deal so will try to stay there. You gave some good tips I didn't think about. Thanks

[@AshelyKim]

I'm glad I was able to help! Hope everything works out for you :)

[@user-zz7cx6tw4m]

randomly encountered your video~~ you're so well spoken and I love how you phrase your sentences!! really interesting video, you're my new favourite youtuber!

[@alicepereira3951]

I am Brazilian living in Colombia. I have been in the same situation as you. I was 25 living in a super small place without windows while I was studying my masters, but when the pandemic came, it was impossible to continue where I was. Then I moved to my first apartment and then to a bigger apartment. The feeling of getting a bigger slace with proper windows is delightful! 😂 I loved the video and I really hope you are living happily there! ❤

[@ArttSell]

I’m from Hong Kong as well and had a lot of challenges apartment hunting for allllll the reasons you’ve mentioned. Keep up with your work, not a lot of good KZbinrs in hk! ❤️

[@AshelyKim]

Thanks for the encouragement 🥰

[@Aniuzkafa]

I just arrived here randomly by yt recommendation… i’m so glad about it! 🎉 it was so fun to see your search! Wishes from Argentina! 🇦🇷

[@dees3179]

Thank you for taking the time to explain the context at the start. Very clear. You have all the same priorities as I did when I was looking for my house in the U.K. unfortunately I couldn’t afford what I wanted and ended up with a really dark place which is eternally depressing.

[@AshelyKim]

Glad it was helpful and I hope you get to be in the house you wanted soon ☺️

[@dees3179]

@@AshelyKim sadly I own it so I'm stuck here. The housing market is very difficult now. But I hope you have better luck.

[@lailacborges]

Considering the size of the other apartment, this one is very good! I really liked it! It's very beautiful!

[@Twozerofived]

omg i completely understand that you wanted a one bedroom so bad cos having no boundaries in the place is just not it. Happy for your new place! :)

[@AshelyKim]

Glad I'm not alone 😂

[@1024specialkay]

i love everything hong kong so hope you will upload more!

[@cocojam362]

Warm / cool colour makes it more spacious.. ❤ The wood theme, such a good space but probably wrong choice of shade of wood. 🎉 I'm not sure why I'm here but love this video 😂❤ 😂

[@AshelyKim]

Thanks for watching!

[@adriennealliea2163]

I really love how you've grown from a student with a tiny flat --> to a student with a tiny flat and window. --> And now working with a bigger place!! So amazing progress. 🥳🤌🙌

[@Novvi-t6q]

I love this comment

[@AshelyKim]

omg why is this comment the sweetest thing 🥹

[@cyanl.2245]

I also live in a one room apartment and I get what you mean with hoping to not see your bed from the living room😂 I really hope you will find the time to show us what you do with your new space. I saw your first apartment where you had a lot of Ikea furniture, and it was a bit heart warming because even though I live in Germany, I have a lot of the same pieces. It`s motivating to see you move up in the world. I will work harder too! Best of luck to you with your new house 💖

[@AshelyKim]

Aw thank you so much for this lovely comment 🥰 I'm working on getting the video out soon!

[@cyanl.2245]

Congratulations on your new home .love from 🇮🇳❤

[@AshelyKim]

Thank you!

[@ladyk3729]

had to rewind a few times to go back to the price, as I thought you were saying £10-12 HKD ( I missed the K!) I was wondering why you were saying it was a lot of money!! makes more sense now!😅

[@AshelyKim]

We wish it was 10-12 HKD 😩😂

[@seeitall8921]

Hi, this might be a weird question but have you ever had mold issues with rentals before? Since hong kong is a hot climate place with high humidity do the furnitures have mold on it after the houses have been closed up for so long? Coz i myself have this issue with renting in malaysia

[@Kj8i-vx1do]

Great! Hope you have a great time :)

[@AshelyKim]

Thank you!

[@LisaM-oh8ik]

I understand you Ms.Kim 👍

[@darylengjun]

Hey! Thank you for this video, I'm moving to Hong Kong and your videos have been so helpful - even the older ones! Could I ask, how much would you expect the landlord to be okay with in terms of lowering the original listed price on 28Hse?

[@AshelyKim]

I'm glad I was able to help! In my experience, it really depends on the landlord & what the original price of the house is. So when I used to rent cheaper places I only got a few hundred lower as the offer but as I looked for more expensive places I was able to haggle a bit more. I would say generally they are willing to negotiate around 1k when I looked at these places!

[@darylengjun]

@@AshelyKim Thank you! I'll keep this in mind when I house hunt in a couple of weeks. Keep making videos!

[@oouzge]

Thanks for new video 🎉

[@AshelyKim]

Thank you for watching :)

[@rosea8154]

This place has two bedrooms, right? What will you do with the second bedroom?? Congrats on finding a spot you're loving!

[@AshelyKim]

Thank you! I am currently using it as an office/dress room :)

[@Sunshinespeck]

I absolutely adore your personality and I think you’re very pretty! ❤ please make more videos ❤❤❤

[@Wooplot]

Thank you for the video. Are you no longer a student and now able to afford a bigger place?

[@AshelyKim]

Yes I graduated in 2022 and got a full-time job :)

[@Wooplot]

@@AshelyKim That's great! Congrats.

[@craftideasbyniru6265]

​@@AshelyKimHi! What did you study in college?

[@laurac6895]

Hi Ashley, how much do a person with your type of job make a month? Because that's like a super expensive apartment for someone from Latin America. Like that's half of our paycheck and the space is like way smaller from what you would get for that price on here.

[@AshelyKim]

Hi! So because the cost of living is much higher in HK, generally people do get a "higher" salary. I would say my rent budget was a bit less than half of my paycheck but I was willing to pay that much because I spend so much time at home :)

[@bobibibobibjhhlk4876]

KZbin algorithm knew what I’m interested in 🫶❤️just found the channel today and I’m already obsessed

[@NicaEstelle2811]

Quarry Bay is super nice!

[@billjohnson7904]

wow HK is rough! You could live in a palace in Thailand for those rates!

[@AshelyKim]

Yes it's unfortunately one of the downsides of living in HK 🥲

[@markholland6657]

I could and would happily live in HK if it weren't for the ridiculous apartment rental prices!!! the rest of HK is awesome!! sadly I remember when you could get a studio apartment for around HKD6000 a month... around 30sqm... not anymore I think! lol

[@IAMCHIDERA]

You’re so cute! ✨

[@AshelyKim]

Thank you!☺️

[@helenchiney1223]

[@apitendah]

What application do you use to hunt for apartments in HK btw?

[@AshelyKim]

I use 28Hse

[@zien.]

i've been wanted to ask this, is that is it possible for a teenager (16) to move out alone in an apartment? If is possible, here are the questions i wanted to ask 1. How should i determine which rent prices are overpriced? 2. Which places are more affordable and suitable for me to move in? 3. Do you have to sign anything or do anything that's related to the law in order to move in? (Immediate move in / late move in)? 4. Oh, and i forgot. Which website should i find apartment to rent? I'm not sure which ones are trustworthy

[@AshelyKim]

Hi, I cannot answer this question definitively but you probably will not be able to move out on your own without the support of your parents since you need to provide income proof and sign a contract when you move into a new house. If you are a teenager yourself, I would advise seeking advice from the adults in your life :)

[@kit16888]

my god, price is outrageous ...

[@AshelyKim]

I 100% agree

[@husanbrar237]

Hello, i want to ask you about your study like what did you study and jobs related that , and which study programs provide good job in hk ?

[@craftideasbyniru6265]

I also want to know it.

[@AshelyKim]

I studied hospitality/tourism in university so I would have gone to work in a hotel or in the tourism industry. But I personally decided to move into marketing after I graduated :)

[@husanbrar237]

Is there good scope in hospitality in hong kong, how much salary can one expect after graduation ? Thanks for replying 😆

[@ahlong1770]

I just got an offer to work there and my salary monthly around 55 ish a month. Checked the fully furnish room and it cost 24k. Wtf. Half of my salary. But i just randomly checn the house without considering the area cause I will be working at the airport. 13k is consider cheap. I just want a house with a kitchen cause i am a muslim and goes to gym a lot

[@AminOnAMission]

Assalamualaikum, Are you from Malaysia? Actually my brother is moving to HK for work in a few weeks. His office will be in Quarry Bay. He is also looking for a house with a kitchen because we are muslim and he wants a gym but it seems like it's quite hard to find a membership at an affordable price lol Anyways, drop a line if you'd like to connect with him? Assalamualaikum.

[@tylerhoarden4164]

What is your job???

[@sanchit2857]

why you stopped vlogging atleast do a little bit...and i know you are not comfortable to vlog outside just use a insta camera or dji which doesnt make you that much uncomfortable...show more of you what you do and about...show your city and eats and places...good luck if you start again
