According to market data, over 2,400 primary property transactions were recorded in January 2026, marking a 15-month high. With this surge in new property sales, if you're interested in a specific development and want to know which units have been sold, how can you access this information?
The most reliable way is to visit the Sales of First-hand Residential Properties Electronic Platform (SRPE). Search for the name of the development you're interested in, and you can download the transaction register for the project. The platform also allows you to access the price list and sales brochure for the development.
Under the Residential Properties (First-hand Sales) Ordinance, developers are required to upload the latest transaction details to the SRPE and the official website of the development within 24 hours after signing a preliminary agreement for sale and purchase with a buyer. Additionally, within one working day after the signing of the Formal Sale and Purchase Agreement, the details must also be disclosed.
The transaction register contains valuable information, such as the date the preliminary agreement was signed, the floor and unit purchased, the transaction price, whether the unit includes a parking space, whether the buyer is a related party of the developer, and the payment terms.
Developers often offer a range of payment plans and discounts, and the register will clearly specify the payment method chosen by the buyer, the discounts applied, and any additional incentives provided, such as furniture or appliances. This ensures full transparency in every transaction.
The register also reflects cases where buyers back out of deals. These are typically marked as "terminated agreements" or "preliminary agreement not progressed," and the register will include the date when the agreement was terminated.
However, forfeited transactions may not be reflected immediately. Developers are not required to respond to a buyer’s cancellation notice instantly, so the transaction will only be officially canceled and updated in the register once the breach of contract is accepted and finalised.
In recent years, many new units have been sold through tender, where buyers submit bids and the highest bidder wins. Since tendered units do not include a price list or reference price, prospective buyers can refer to the transaction register to estimate an appropriate bid price.
On the launch day of a new development, the transaction register may not be updated in real-time. Buyers planning to purchase can check the sales status at the developer’s sales office, where updates are typically displayed in charts showing which units have been reserved. These charts are usually updated faster, but the final and authoritative information will always depend on the transaction register.
