no one seems to be concerned with the maintenance fees mentioned in snp? my fren bought a condo with mct, maintenance fees cost rm50 for the clubhouse, and she was already complaining abt it, saying it wasn't mentioned when she bought it, and is considering to cancel the purchase now.
When I told her abt the maintenance fees with this project, not even for clubhouse, she think i'm ridiculous to have signed the legal documentation... Now im really worried.. as the amt is not stated in the documents, they can really charge anythg they like in the future, and as far as I know, they only provide playgrd and surau, which are not really used by everyone, and also, these facilities are supposed to be maintained by the majlis perbandaran if this project is under individual title. I do not see any reason why they are charging us the maintenance fees... Maintenance fees is a long term commitment, in long run we may be paying even more than what they spent to build the fence or provide a guard for 6 months..
Honestly based on my 10 years experience buying higheise strata...
Maintenance fee of 31-35 cents per square feet is the norm right now, any developer that try to sell u strata unit that preach otherwise is bullshiteing u especially for a good maintained apartment-condo.
The cost to hire guards, fund electricity, water in the common area, repair fees have gone up considerably the last couple of years....
The higher maintenance fee is what separate a good condo/high end apartment from the low cost flat....
However i depends on u how u gonna foot this extra expense...either from ur pocket or u have other fully paid property that the rental can fully be used to cover ur maintenance cost...
