Skyhook -that is really good and helpful advice. Unfortunately we won`t be able to move before September next year but I want to compile as much information as possible before then. We definitely need to go and check out these areas first. We are off to Australia`s Gold Coast next week so it will be after New Year. I will bother you with questions from time to time if you don`t mind. One thing we do need is room to store golf bags, suitcases etc and good wardrobe space!
Happy Holidays to you.

Hi There

I hope you dont mind my asking you for a little advice. I am due to start up a Hong Kong office for our firm in 2008 and would really appreciate some advice.

We are an established UK-Headuquartered Search and Selection firm, with offices in London and New York. Our clients are within the Banking and Financial Services sector so we are ideally looking for a small and very cost-efficient office-space on Hong Kong island ideally within the Queensway, Central or anywahere neaer the Financial Centre of HK Island. We need just enough space for 2 -3 staff.

Secondly, I am looking for advice on a guideline of costs for rental accomodation. What should a guy be expected to pay for a 1 bedroom accomodation on Hong Kong Island? ..Is it realistic to have 1 -2 bedroom accomodation without having to flat-share.

Thirdly I am looking to advise my boss on the prioce range he should be budgeting for a medium level apratment for he and his wife..areas , location and costs

please do fee free to reply to me by email to echenuk@hotmail.com

Thanks so much

have a great Christmas!

Hi HKNewbie,

One of my friends live in Tierra Verde in Tsing Yi and the place is great for single and small families. For your budget you can get a two bedroom flat.

The property is located above Tsing Yi MTR and Airport express station which takes only 15-20 min to Central and airport

Shopping mall with cinema, supermarket, and lots of dining options is inside the MTR station.

Club house facilities with swimming pool and gym are available.

The only thing is dog is normally not allowed in most apartments in HK.

From New York so would like to be in an area with expats and other friendly type areas. Does anyone have any ideas of locations of where to look to find something reasonable for that price range and area requirements. I would also like for the place not to be a tiny box. Are these reasonable demands for that price range ? I also would need it to be pet friendly for a 10lb dog. Thanks in advance.
