香港房屋供應緊張，加上不少地區都出現老化，特區政府的市區重建局和私人地產發展商，都推行重建計劃，希望可以解決問題。這一節「長者法網智多聲」，就跟大家說說重建和收購物業。
市建局現時主要以三種途徑推行或促進重建，包括市建局主導的重建項目、需求主導重建項目（先導計劃）、以及中介服務（先導計劃）。
市建局主導的重建項目，通常由市建局公布一個重建地點，在憲報和報紙刊登，如果沒有人反對，就可以推行重建。市建局會與現有的業主私人協商，取得他們的業權。住宅物業的自住業主，可以獲得現金補償，或者以樓換樓方式，代替現金補償。如果市建局未能夠以私人協議的方式收購土地，就會要求政府根據法例，收回土地。政府會在憲報刊登公告，三個月之後，業權就歸政府所有。該幅地的業主可以獲得補償。
至於由業主自發的需求主導重建計劃，就由不少於六成七業權的業主，共同向市建局申請，邀請市建局重建他們建議的地盤。市建局會挑選合適的申請重建。
為了協助業主集合土地業權，開展由業主自發的重建項目，市建局透過附屬公司「市區重建中介服務有限公司」，推行中介服務，只要集合一半業權，業主就可以申請這項先導計劃，由市建中介公司代為聘請顧問及游說未參加的業主出售物業。如果想多了解這幾項計劃的詳情，可以參考市區重建局的網頁或長者社區法網文字版。
除了剛才提及的重建方式，大業主如果擁有一幅地至少八成的業權，就可以根據法例，向土地審裁處申請強制售賣所有業權，用作重建。地段一般會公開拍賣，賣到的錢，扣除相關費用之後，會按比例攤分給各業主。如果因為強制售賣土地而出現爭議，各方可以進行調解。長者小業主可以申請調解資助，應付調解會議的開支。如果想了解更多，可以到長者社區法網文字版看看。
不時也有新聞報道，說有小業主因為不肯售賣自己的單位來重建，結果遭人恐嚇，好像是被人斷水斷電、用膠水封著鑰匙孔或以鎖鏈鎖住鐵閘等。這些行為很可能是刑事罪行，業主如果遇到這些事，應該立刻報警。
老友記遇到重建的問題，除了可以聯絡市區重建社區服務隊之外，還可以向聖雅各福群會、基督教家庭服務中心、救世軍或長者安居協會求助。我們的網頁已經列出它們的聯絡方法。希望我們的資訊能幫到大家吧。拜拜。
PrintLand resumption
If the URA fails to acquire entire interest in the land by private agreement for whatever reasons, such as title problems, probate cases or untraceable owners, the URA will make a request to the Government for resumption of the land pursuant to the Lands Resumption Ordinance (Cap. 124 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
Notice of approval for land resumption
If the Government decides to resume land pursuant to the Lands Resumption Ordinance(Cap. 124 of the Laws of Hong Kong), a Government Notice will be published in the Gazette. Copies of the Government Notice will also be affixed in the redevelopment area and sent to the registered owners of the property, where possible.
Reversion of ownership to the Government
Under normal circumstances, the ownership of the properties will revert to the Government three months after the notice is published.
Compensation
Owner-occupiers will be offered statutory compensation and an ex-gratia allowance, namely the Home Purchase Allowance (HPA). Statutory compensation is the open market value of the resumed properties, assessed on a vacant possession basis or tenancy basis, as appropriate, on the date of reversion.The amount of HPA is the difference between the value of a notional replacement flat (based on a seven-year-old flat of a size similar to the resumed flat and in the same locality) and the open market value of the resumed flat.
If any person who considers that he has a compensatable interest in the resumed land, and who has been neither offered compensation nor invited to claim compensation may, within one year from the date of reversion, submit a claim in writing to the Director of Lands
Lands Tribunal referral and appeal mechanisms
If the owner is aggrieved by the amount of the statutory compensation or ex-gratia allowance, the person may submit a claim or an appeal to the Lands Tribunal, the Appeals Committee or the Director of Lands depending on the nature of the complaint.
For details, please refer to the Lands Department Guidelines.
