At a low point
Residential transactions may have rebounded in recent weeks, but the morale of property agents is at a low ebb. Displeasure has bubbled over on occasion and last week agents even agitated against their employer.



The fun starts here
With more and more businesses moving their operations to Quarry Bay, Tai Koo Shing or Island East, smart executives are searching for quality homes closer to their offices.

Tasteful Tai Po
Hong Lok Yuen is a benchmark luxury project in Tai Po that is a popular choice for many end-users. This 3,200-square- foot detached house on the market has a 2,857-sq-ft garden with a swimming pool.

Another safe bet
Investing in London property has always been a safe bet for Hong Kong and other international buyers. Now the time is ripe for local investors to get in early at another prestigious project, as Redrow has announced the global launch of its One Commercial Street development.

Touch of class
With its excellent location and luxurious apartments, Silvermill allows you to enjoy the rich fabric of London life.

Get cozy in style
The Residence is the newest development in London's sought-after West Hampstead area. And it is the perfect address - offering a harmonious blend of relaxation and luxury.

Verdant sanctuary
Shouson Hill, on the south side of Hong Kong Island, is much prized for its mountain and sea outlook. The spacious home for sale - the top floor of Shouson Garden - enjoys verdant views.

Take in the view
The long-awaited luxury development at One Tower Bridge is the last great riverside site available in the British capital, and is going to be the most talked-about London property of the year.

Correction looms
In tandem with a possible double dip in the European economy and a continued weak US economy, Hong Kong's economic outlook is also bleak. The government forecasts GDP growth of 1 to 3 percent this year due to deteriorating export performance.

Bubbling again
Residential sales are set for a rebound following a double-digit tumble last month. Developers have been releasing more apartments and some owners have begun to raise their asking prices.

Waterside panorama
Paynes & Borthwick is the newest development in the heart of London. The riverside development provides 257 highly specified apartments that overlook stunning river views toward Canary Wharf, Greenwich and the City.
