This is a real "steal" especially on Hong Kong Island in a non-walkup building, with a separate shower partition! Congratulations! Even being a local here, I have never heard of a similar apartment with such price!

[@MyBrokenPassport]

Thanks! I think it was just good timing on my part. I’ve been loving the extra space I have though after living in studio flats for two years before finding this place 🙂

[@JessBeyondHorizon]

Your kitchen is pretty spacious for Hong Kong! I just moved into a place with a kitchen (previously in subdivided flats) and it definitely makes a big difference! Nice place overall :)

[@MyBrokenPassport]

I absolutely love the fact I finally have a kitchen! Before this I was living in studio apartments, so the extra space now makes a massive difference.

It’s refreshing to hear a fellow Scottish guy. Awesome vid man

Thanks dude. From Belfast though 😄

A pair of tights would be the best way to clean under your basin. Seesaw them around the base and they give a good shine to the taps and basin too.

[@MyBrokenPassport]

Amazing! Would never ever have thought about that. Thank you!

Frankly, this is very “cheap” in rent in HK, I thought it would cost HKD16K at least in 2019.

[@MyBrokenPassport]

You're correct Charity, the previous tenant was paying $16,500HKD per month in 2019.

@@MyBrokenPassport oh damn whats the secret to getting it down so much

[@robocop581]

Your place is very nice. I can easily get comfortable there. My first place in HK was an illegal rooftop flat in TST, 400 sq ft with three bedrooms one toilet and a tiny kitchen. There were 13 tenants jammed in that tiny flat. I didn't mind it as I was young and didn't know any better. I almost rented at Chung King Mansions but the crazy number of electrical wires that snaked along the hallway scared me as it looked like a fire trap.

[@MyBrokenPassport]

Wow. I'm sure you have many stories you could tell about your time here in HK 🌆

[@valeria-militiamessalina5672]

Sad, glad you made it

[@MeiinUK]

It is illegal to live that many people... even in HK. You should've shopped those people in !!! And this is WHY... HK has caused a global financial situation. Thanks to people like yourselves... Cos they indirectly inflated the prices of the HK dollars as well..... AND debts !!!!

[@robocop581]

@@MeiinUK Yawn. I lived in that illegal flat because I was poor. But I worked my way up and now I'm financially secure with several rental properties. Don't knock it as that cramped place made me what I am today.

[@FBICPS]

Not a bad pad. Would love to see a video on my old stomping ground (Happy Valley)

[@MyBrokenPassport]

I actually live pretty close to Happy Valley. Thinking of making a video around that area when things start opening up again 🙂

thank you for sharing, so expensive.

[@GalateahYeung-qw3ru]

I mean If you want bigger spaces you should consider village houses in Hong Kong if you don’t mind living out there . I rented a place with 3 floors , two balconies, rooftop for 1400 for over 1000 square foot .

[@MyBrokenPassport]

Very good point. One of my friends does exactly this. I've been enjoying living in the city, but as you say for those who prioritise space a village house is the way to go! More space but less convenient.

[@michaelthong598]

Great, you are lucky.

Hi. New here. There’s a lot to catch up! But i am gonna do all of them!!! Can i ask are you staying yourself in this apartment ?

Thanks so much for dropping by! Yes, I think I got a good deal. Rents had dropped by 20% in this neighbourhood when I was looking - the tenant before me was paying 16,500hkd / $2,100USD. It had been nicely renovated two years before I got it 🙂

Thank you Leslie.

[@SuperSoyee1]

Thank you for sharing with us your apartment. It's a bit small, yet you got a nice kitchen, a big bed and a washing machine !! The cost is also reasonable. It's the Government's fault for failing to provide appropriate housing to the citizens and people who come to work here.

This is very sad looking conditions. And for this kind of price. I did hear HK is expensive, but this is no way to live. Move to Texas or Florida.

@@ginger1920 London has the most expensive rent in the UK (super-high), while Manchester is in the top 10 cities for cost of rent. There are lots of towns with much much cheaper rent. You can get a three bedroom house for £700 per month in places.

[@ginger1920]

@@MyBrokenPassport may I know which cities has such rent?

[@MyBrokenPassport]

@@ginger1920 Cheapest rent is in cities and towns in North-East England. Places around Sunderland, Durham, Middlesbrough, Tyneside etc. This area isn't as affluent as other parts of the UK and the weather is generally a good bit colder and wet compared to the south of England. Property and rent prices are much more affordable though.

opening the windows does not help with the heat?

[@MyBrokenPassport]

Unfortunately not. With hot and humid weather, and buildings being surrounded by other buildings (cutting off any air flow / wind), opening the windows can result in your flat getting hotter instead of cooler.

May I know why you come to HK? There are much more nice homes in UK.

[@MyBrokenPassport]

Hey, I visited HK when I was travelling in 2014 and loved the unique energy of the city. Decided to move here four years later to experience things on a daily basis. But yes, there are many pros and cons, and housing (high rent / lower quality) is one of the biggest downsides of living in Hong Kong. Still lots of reasons for people to move here though (and reasons why others want to leave)🙂
