I don't own a golf cart in DB, but from what I hear, they are indeed, a better investment!

Gold Coast IS allowing boat sales with debenture and associated water.
Movement was halted whilst the new management got a grip on the mess left behind by the previous encumbants. Normal service has been resumed.
I understand this is a rumour network but at leat try and find out if the rumour you a regurgitating has some basis in truth.

I did state that GC was the most stable of the lot; the mooted MTR stations/lines are at the planning stage and aren't even gazetted yet.. I would agree, however, that it is a great way of life..Caveat emptor..twice in this case

Well, there are 30 year old junks in the Marina worth 6 m + (about 6 X what they cost new). So....

We will only leave the marina if leaving HK

We tried to buy a $3.7 flat but could not justify 19.5% duty that would result in a million dollar loss just for signing. We then considered the risk / cost of a boat and I can say that the only way we're leaving the marina is to leave Bong Kong.

We have 2,500 sqft, 3 beds, 4 bathrooms, 2 lounge rooms, 2 decks, good kitchen, a double office, a laundry room and plenty of storage. In all that we were able to have the main fridge, the beer fridge, the standby beer fridge and the wine fridge - a BBQ too.

When buying, brokers seem to be asking for 5% commission, is that normal or are there brokers that don't charge the buyer?

Usually, no commission charged to the buyer. Seller pays 2-3%

Make an offer, no commission (seller pays commission). The only other method is 1% from both buyer and seller. Asking prices are starting to head back up again now that the deal is in place. Best years of my life in HK were living on a boat in DB. Miss every day I had there, was like a vacation.

Thanks for all the info. Also someone mentioned CX wont pay for the mooring, how do you get around that (without spending a small ransom on one?)

Tread carefully

Basically you will find it hard to get around the mooring costs. Most agents and sellers will try to include this in the price of boat. Be careful this is specifically not allowed and you might be liable or worse if company question value!!!!

So, what's up for having a boat in DB or GC at the moment?

Well, when you correct your grammar so that we can figure out what it is you are asking, i'm sure someone will let you know.

The mast would be ‘up’ unless the boat has capsized.

I’m guessing if you’re in the DB marina as the final months of your debenture tick down, this is the least of your problems. Hoping a solution can be found.

To the guys in DB Marina the very best of luck. I hope that you can all salvage the most possible from the terrible situation you have been plunged into. I used to live there, it was a fantastic community and I never thought that it would come to such a cruel and heartless end.

Despicable! Hong Kong is a rotten toxic place to live in!!! The greed and lack of compassion shown by HKRI is nothing short of criminal. Karma will get them in the end ����
