It depends on luck. good luck, not water leaking. bad luck, water leak like raining.

true also..i used to have a unit like that - pro is that no funny noises from upstairs.
Water leakage was minor - since it was common area, management took care of it and repainted the leakage stains on the ceiling in my unit.


this type of leakage is better than leakage from a unit upstairs - lagi headache!!


hot ?- well it was not that bad really..

I nv thought of leakage from unit upstairs which will cause me more problem.. Good point. But if there's water pump, won't it be noisy?

Also if u compare the top unit and the lower one..is it only slightly hotter? I nv stay at top flr. So won't know. Usually the middle one is ok

water pump? that time my place don't have a pump..

to me, more pros than cons as I hate to deal with leakage problems from another unit upstairs..- can be very troublesome.

I never found mine suffocating hot..can manage without aircond

yes, if an old condo, sometimes the water pump not serviced or replaced will be a bit noisy. ditto the lift motor. There are pros and cons. water leakage from roof is actually MC or JMB responsible to fix, but you may have to push them to do so. but the good thing about top floor is the ceiling height is higher (don't know if applicable to all condo in malaysia but that is my experience) and also you don't have to bear with upstair neighbour stomping around or dragging furniture. and of course the view , bright and windy too.

ya true

..................

Conclusion:-
1) no and unlikely.
2) depends on the facing of your condo (west/eastern facing take note).
3) leakage rare but when it does happens, do expect flooding.

I had leakage from the roof but no flooding....the ceiling was a little warped here and there and it got fixed by the management eventually.

And that condo I had was about 10years old..
