    I believe every bank in HK gives 95%.

    Shop around for the lowest mortgage rate.

    That news to me. HSBC told me the only give 70% for non-new properties.

    The one I am looking at is around 10 yrs old, so its not exactly old.

    The real estate yesterday said to me that the norm is 30% deposit.

    He said for the size of apartment i want to rent with a 30% deposit the repayments would be similar to costs to renting.

    Just got to find that 30%!

    You can borrow up to 95% if are ready to pay insurance. Just go to a bank (shop around at different banks) to ask...

    When I move I expect to pay around 40-50% on rent.
