tomazbodner Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Actually you should stick with a reputable developer and management company in a building that looks well maintained and has a reasonably high per m2 maintenance fees. Those that skimp on the fees generally run out of money to maintain the building. My building has 45 thb/m2 and they are taking very good care of the place. The building I previously planned to buy (BIG THANK YOU to TVF posters who talked me out of that!) had lower fees but I think that will change very quickly after seeing that the building is literally falling apart, 2 years old. Cracks on outer walls, especially 45 degree ones are most serious. And they are all over the place. Hence it makes sense to buy something at least 5 years old.

Even with lower common fees, at the AGM they can approve supplementary fees required for work, many condos do this so the common fee quoted is misleading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asking for a harder and harder to maintain task in the long run for all the co-owners. Even more fun if you have a unit on the few floors right underneath it. Interesting point. I was looking for a condo in Bangkok for myself to live in. One of the most important points was no neighbor noise from above my unit. Hence I was looking for units right below the mid-level pool, sky garden, viewing terrace or similar. While viewing some condos I remember reading "pool under renovation due to leaking". So I gave up up the "underneath the pool" idea quickly LOL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
