Short answer：Proximity to redevelopment or an old building does not guarantee acquisition or a specified return. Verify project boundaries, legal processes, timing and valuation separately.
Distinguish redevelopment routes
Urban renewal, negotiated private acquisition and compulsory sale follow different arrangements. Another project’s compensation or rehousing terms do not establish rights for this flat. Check formal notices and written terms.
Fund the waiting period
Management, repairs and loans remain relevant before acquisition completes. Test no redevelopment, delay and lower proceeds. A compulsory-sale application is not an order or a guaranteed acquisition price.
Before deciding
- Verify inclusion in the formal boundary
- Identify the acquisition route
- Budget for repairs and debt while waiting
