Cons
1. Roof leaking water - but if you have good management, you don't worry much as all cost are borne by management. This is better than ordinary floor that if upstairs leaking , then you need to see the "face" of upstair owner, and wait them to fix.

2. Water pressure - Highest and 2nd or 3rd highest floor normally won't use water directly from water tank, but instead being served by a booster pump. In fact, the booster pump can deliver better water pressure than ordinary water flow from tank. But if you have poor management, that do not fix or maintain the pump properly, without the booster pump, the water pressure will be very weak.

3. Lift - Lift waiting time definitely cost sometimes, everyday up to a min or 2 is unavoidable, especially during peak hour of morning and evening, worst if one of lift broken down. This also depended on density of property.
Low density, the waiting time may be negligible.

Actually it largely depends on the management, if you have good management and always act responsively and maintain the apartment/condo promptly, those cons are not an issue at all.

What about if the tower served by 6 lifts?

This is not logic... staying at low floor does not mean your room won't get hot...

I believe what he is saying is that the unit on the highest floor gets more direct sun light than the units below. Hence the heat built up inside the unit would cause the rubber and plastic to decay at a faster rate

It's depend on the direction too.. if your unit facing north or south then you can avoid the direct sunlight...

It depends on density and how high the property is.

It is seldom to see a condo or apartment that not very tall or low to medium density being served by 6 lifts.

Most condo/apartment won't have more than 30, and with medium density layout, 3-4 lifts generally are enough.

Yes there will be 46 levels for my apartment which being served by 6 lifts 😁
