Commercial property for sale

Buying commercial premises in Hong Kong

Updated 4 November 2026

Averages for commercial listings in Hong Kong run from about HK$5,986 to HK$17,713 per sq ft, depending on the sub-district, and a shop of about 1,100 sq ft in Prince Edward is listed at HK$28.8 million. These are approximate figures from sellers' websites and listing sites, November 2026. For a price in your district and size, send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Local rules and buying costs

Buyers should budget beyond the price. Stamp duty applies to sales, transfers and leases of immovable property, and the Government's published stamp duty rates are the figures to check before calculating your total. A business registration certificate for the premises is about HK$2,150 according to a 2026 guide, plus any industry licences. If you use an agent, the Estate Agents Authority publishes its licence fees: HK$1,280 for a salesperson's licence and HK$2,800 for a company estate agent licence.

The property sales ordinance also sets detailed requirements for sales brochures, price lists, show flats and the disclosure of transaction information, so ask for those documents when you buy new units. Check the intended use too: a unit bought for a 24-hour home office must meet commercial fire regulations.

Season and timing

Hong Kong follows the northern calendar, with winter from December to February and summer from June to August, and the listings in this search show no seasonal pattern worth planning around. The more useful timing fact is in the figures themselves: one average fell from HK$26,832 to HK$17,713 per sq ft within a month. Check the current month before you negotiate, and ask the seller when the price was last changed.

How area and price are quoted

Listings quote area in square feet, and some state gross floor area, so compare units by price per sq ft and check whether the area is gross or saleable. If you prefer square metres, one square metre is about 10.76 sq ft. Compare districts such as Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan and Tuen Mun on the same basis, and ask whether the price includes the floor, access and any tenant in place.

What to put in the request

Name the property type (shop, office or industrial unit), the district, the floor area in sq ft, your budget in HK$ and the intended use. Add the floor, the access (street entrance, lift, loading), whether land is included, whether a tenant is in place, and which documents you want to see before a viewing.

On BlaBlaPrice the request is free for buyers. You describe the property in your own words in a chat, and the AI asks for the missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Hong Kong, and shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own price and terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide whom to share them with.
