Would you buy a death-linked flat? Hong Kong and France differ sharply

Original: Would you buy a death-linked flat? Hong Kong, France give very different answers

A comparison of property markets shows Hong Kong and France taking very different approaches to flats where someone has died. In Hong Kong, so-called 'haunted' apartments with a death history often sell at steep discounts, while France's disclosure rules and buyer attitudes make such homes less stigmatised. The contrast highlights how culture and regulation shape property prices when a home carries a death-linked history.

Why now: Buyers and sellers are weighing how a death in a property affects its value, a topic with real financial stakes in both markets
