Registration fees ("transfer fees")
For a purchase in Leasehold or Freehold it is necessary to pay transfer fees for registration at the Land Department.  In Leasehold, these fees amount to 1.1% of the value declared in the lease contract.  In Freehold, these fees vary between 5 and 7% of the value of the property, depending on its age and the length of time the seller has owned it.
