yeah, for someone to opt buying a 20 year-old property, I'm sure the overall maintenance aren't too bad. Some people said, the building quality could be much better than some of the new ones around.

QUOTE(rakyat @ Jul 9 2010, 04:04 PM) I thot it was only applicable to highrise (condo or apartment)? If for landed, I will not touch. Speaking on my own experience, older houses tend to require many expensive repairs which cannot be seen e.g. roofing & plumbing, termits.  I thought condo/apartment also can face the same problems you listed? I have heard of condos having termites problem. Roofing - even if you are not on the top floor, may have pipe leaking issues, etc. Less than 10 years old properties also can have these problems.....  |

QUOTE(SowYau @ Jul 10 2010, 09:02 AM) I realize those condo buildings façade which have been re-painted, looks refreshing and new regardless of what "happen" inside. What do you mean 'what ''happen'' inside? mind to elaborate more? |

QUOTE(jam_lennon @ Jul 13 2010, 10:08 PM) do take in the concern which the loan approval, my fren bought a >20y apartment @ 150k, but after access by bank loan evaluator(i dunno wat's the exact name) that apartment only worth 135k therefore my fren can only take up to max 135k loan Sad to say jam-lennon, this one is true and it is happening in lotsa places (locations) & properties regardless of the age of the property. People call it 'bubble'. |
