  • Once again, I am back with my favourite series to make, apartment/house hunting in Hong Kong! As always, the video includes how to find good apartments in Hong Kong, my tips for house hunting, actual house tours with rent prices and which one I chose in the end. This time, I had a much-upgraded budget and am looking for bigger and better places!
    I hope that this video is helpful for you and that you enjoy it as much as I enjoy making them :)

    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!

    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! ❤

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.

    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
      @AshelyKim  3 месяца назад

      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!

    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
      @AshelyKim  3 месяца назад +1

      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 :)

    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
      @AshelyKim  3 месяца назад +2

      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 :)
