This is my first time to buy a condo, thus below is part of the hidden things which i dont know previously ..

i) previously mentioned that each unit will get 5 access cards.. but during handover only get to know that only 2 access card is foc, if want the 3rd card will be rm300, 4th card will be rm400 & 5th card will be rm500.... bangwall.gif

ii) cukai tanah cost me around rm1550 per year due to currently the condo is under commercial property.. water & electricity bill will be calculate based on the commercial rate as well....... bangwall.gif  bangwall.gif

iii) deposit for water & electricity around rm3500..........

iv) house installment slightly increase due to Bank negara had increase dont know what what what rate.... rclxub.gif

I'm totally inexperienced on this so did not ask very clear when talk with the developer / bank or maybe some of the part was purposely be hidden by developer site.. Anyway, nothing can be do now as the handover procedure almost done.. Just dont know whether new things / new cost will be keep coming out in the future lol... fyi, my condo is Atlantis residences melaka..

Anyone want to share anything wif this newbie? haha

1) I think they mentioned you can get up to 5 cards instead of given 5 cards, usually only provide 2 cards, additional will be charge
2) commercial property are usually high in term of cukai tanah (when the time you buy, i suppose you already knew its commercial land
3) deposit for electricity usually goes to TNB, water is either developer or syabas (amount wise is up to them to decide)
4) this one you can't do anything

**if your property covered under HDA then you may convert your electricity to residential rate

if so, then you are just blindly walk into the lawyer firm and blindly sign all the document only
anyway, not much you can do now, the best you can do is get pass the RGPT period and sell it off
