Hi all,

I have a question pertaining to facilities in which as a housebuyer/resident in strata-title property has to access.

Is there an act/guideline in which a developer have to provide certain facilities in a property and the JMB continue to honour it?

My question is about car wash bay for residents' use, an option or is a given right? This ties back to other facilities such as whether swimming pools, recreational parks, badminton/basketball/tennis courts, a must in condominiums/apartments?

Apppreciate any advice on this matter.

Thanks dariofoo. Appreciate the clarification.

I also came across this clause/act whilst searching in the National Home Buyers Association website. The similar but simplified clauses was also mentioned in my Deed of Mutual Covenants.

HBA Reference

However, I never thought it would be that general in nature.

For discussion, what if a developer stipulates that the property has "Full Condominium Facilities" in its POSM? Honestly, there is. What consist of the full condo facilities?

Because there is no clear written guideline in which the developer has to adhere to, the developer at its own right can dictate what they define/interpret as their own definition of full condominium facilities. Am I correct to make this statement?

In this case, the S&P acts as the legal binding agreement/checklist for housebuyers in terms of the developers fulfilment/obligation.

It's the same Act,bro  nod.gif
Yes you're right. What constitutes 'Full Condominium Facilities' would entirely be according to the interpretation and discretion of the developer. That is why a wise purchaser would be vary of such vaguely-defined promises stated in the POSM.



Thanks dariofoo. Really appreciate your advise and the case is interesting. Pretty much of misrepresentation that led to negligence.
