Basically anyone over the age of 23 are eligible because Hong Kong was owned by Britain pre 1997. About 170,000 of them have UK passports and 3.5 million are eligible for them but they really have a British National Overseas Passport which doesn't allow them to live in the UK so it's useless as the moment. Imagine 3.5 million more people in the UK and I bet 90% of them are gonna come to London.

Well, this might become a reality after Brexit. I wonder what the Brexiters are gonna say about this.

Hong Kong is going to become part of mainland China by 2047 apparently.

''Set to expire in 2047, the current arrangement has permitted Hong Kong to function as its own entity in many international settings (e.g., WTO and the Olympics) rather than as a part of China.''

That's half their population but have you seen their house prices? Look at the size of the apartments they live in. Also, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated areas in the world.

Expecting a massive property boom in the Midlands/Yorkshire. Geeljire speculators get in now prices are around 100-200k for a 3/4 bed semi.
